China's development strategy shift 'encouraging': US


rawstory.com

US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Tuesday that export-driven China was shifting its development strategy to rely more on domestic consumption, a move he described as "encouraging."

He said Beijing's strategy change partly had resulted in a jump of almost 50 percent in American exports to China compared to a 20-percent rise to the rest of the world in the first quarter of this year.

The number listed above from the source article are interesting. The increase in trade is not a bad thing at all, in my opinion. What I don't understand is how is this shift is strategy a good thing for China? I doubt that China's government is doing it because it what the people want. They have rarely done anything like that in the past from what I can remember.

A 50% rise in exports to china from the US sounds good, but it needs to have an index to draw from first.
50% increase of 3% exported goods brings you to 1.5% gain or a 4.5%.
Not enough to get excited about, but it's always good to see something being made and sold.
China needs to send some money back to the US just to keep the air in the tires in the country they currently own.
It would be nice to see some jobs come back that arent war based,
hope and change, rope and chains!

Yeah. That means that soon they won't need the US anymore and will be able to drop all their US treasuries whenever they want, killing the US market.

That means THEY WON'T NEED AMERICA ANYMORE.

Real great plan Timothy!
