“What is different, however, is the scale of the coun- try and its initial poverty. China’s GDP per head (at purchasing power parity) was a mere 4 per cent of US levels in 1978. Even now, it is less than a fifth. The latter was in the position of Japan in 1950 and of South Korea as long ago as 1978. If China were to achieve Japan’s relative GDP per head before growth slowed sharply, it would enjoy another 25 years of fast economic expansion, to emerge with much the world’s biggest economy.”

“China is overwhelmingly the dominate intervener, accounting for 40 per cent of the accumulation since February 2009. By June 2010, its reserves had rea- ched $2,450bn, 30 per cent of the world total and a staggering 50 per cent of its own GDP. This accu- mulation must be viewed as a huge export subsidy. Never in human history can the government of one superpower have lent so much to that of another.”
