Challenging
Article Abstract:
The Chinese economy has been affected by a number of factors such as high inflation, a trade dispute with the US and concern over the health of the leader, Deng. These concerns have also affected the performance of Chinese stocks. Inflation is decelerating and a credit crunch is unlikely in the context of high unemployment and debt. The core leadership is likely to remain intact, and trade negotiations may lead to agreement between the US and China. If the situation does not worsen, this could be a good time to invest in Chinese stocks, according to Baring Securities.
