Review: The article made the situation clearer to me, given that I don't know much about economies and such. But after reading, as a Chinese citizen, I feel a bit upset. All I could do is to pray that our leaders could make right decisions, for our benefit and for the whole world economy. This is not the time to argue about the party, or the time to complain.

Review: Good article, gives insight on the problems at hand at the central bank. The build up of asset prices is a global phenomenon and problem as well. Any slowdown in China is sure to have its impact on the world economy.

Review: You are absolutely right to question Beijing's control over the economy. It is less than realized and shrinking every day. But, I am skeptical it has the guts to slow the economy. I think it is more afraid of peasant revolts and college graduates without jobs than it is of overheating. www.chinalawblog.com

Review: I'm Chinese. I must admit this article is so professional that it makes the whole situation clear in a very fundational way. In China now, our government is regarded as an irrelevant thing or just a joke. Corruption, low efficiency, and filled with idiots feature this government.

Review: Well, as I was reading an article by Brian Bermner last month, he was actually an Asia regional editor based in Japan. So I don't know when he moved to Hong Kong and became an expert on China's economy. But the last article he posted http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/04_18/b3881012.htm here, does show very biased statements such as "the [Chinese]system is clearly out of wack" and "let's hope Hu and Wen knows what they are doing." But China is indeed trying to offset the trade imbalance by being the biggest customer on purchasing agricultural products from various states in the USA, and also bought 80-plus Boeing jets, while paying 25% above the market price to the USA since the Chinese RMB currency is undervalued.

Review: Good writing points out the troubles Chinese communist party leaders are facing. From my point of view, they are better at trading their power for money than addressing these issues.
