China's rebalancing is coming

The local governments may break Beijing's rules, but Beijing is serious about reform. An editorial in today's Beijing Times explains why economic growth will be slower. This is the first time I've seen an article like this in a general audience newspaper. Economic papers have written these stories, but it's not often we see it discussed outside of the financial realm. It comes a few weeks ahead of the National People's Congress, when power will officially transition to Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang. The editorial covers growing debt burdens for local governments, bubbles and the need to turn away from double digit growth targets.

经济军令状勿成盲目增长护身符
