In August 2015, we had the first stock market correction (defined as a 10 percent decline from recent peaks) in more than four years. Yet barely four months later, the U.S. is already experiencing another one. Though the recent oil price drop did contribute to the most recent correction, the real culprit for both corrections is the same — China. As the president of the Tennessee Chinese Chamber of Commerce, I would like to discuss the trends of the Chinese economy in recent decades, and the global impact of its recent slowdown, particularly in the U.S.
For the last 30 years, China has worked hard to become the "factory of the world." The country did everything it could to convince companies all over the developed world to move their low-end factory and assembly jobs to China. China was spectacularly successful. It was rewarded by GDP growth averaging over 10 percent a year for 30 years. Hundreds of millions of Chinese moved from subsistence farming in rural villages to factory work in big cities. Huge modern cities similar to those that took hundreds of years to develop in the West were built in less than a decade in China. Never in human history have so many people moved from poverty to middle-class living in such a short time.
