The Chinese Economy.

The author provides an annotation to an editorial offering advice for China on dealing with economic and financial crises, published in the periodical "New York Times" in 2008. He notes that attempting to apply the mass consumer economy of the U.S. to China will result to economic, environmental and political problems. He points out that Chinese consumers are more sensitive to indications of economic crisis than U.S. consumers. He cites that the editorial considers the need for China to increase consumer spending to alleviate the impact of the crisis.
