Australia’s China obsession: get over it

The Chinese economy is slowing, and everyone except the Chinese Communist Party knows it. An extensive ‘forensic examination’ by economists associated with the US Brookings Institution suggests that China has been over-reporting GDP growth for at least the last ten years (and probably longer). Western investors are pulling out of China in droves, and Chinese graduates from Australian universities are finding it hard to get jobs when (if) they go home at the end of their degrees.
