How is Chinese economy booming all of a sudden now?

Answer #1

OK here’s my view- low wages and a workforce of about a quadzillion, Throw in an aggressive monetary policy, plenty of (often copied) technology , lots of central control, oodles of cash, positive export trade- all this and more added to a strong desire to ‘play with the big boys on the world stage…

Answer #2

Most astonishing thing is that China emerged stronger in economy within a very short time

Answer #3

Maybe its something to do with all the useless crap they produce which Western countries cant seem to get enough of.

Answer #4

China was and still buying natural resources from well to do countries and creating the products themselves. As Michel stated in his answer, one does not have to pay the Chinese people a big salary as you do in the western countries, hence it is cheaper to have products manufactured in China. At the moment, most western countries are still suffering from the financial global bust (apart from Australia), and China is being smart by holding their Chinese dollar down. The Chinese government is buying a sh-it load of foreign exchange reserves. When the global financial crisis does swings back to normal, China is going to make gigantic surplus for the government, which means big, big $$$$$. China is going to be the next Japan in the making.
