Are you saying that the Chinese elites will allow their economy to stall.
At the risk of pissing off hundreds of millions of Chinese workers, who then destabilise the stangle-hold on political power the Chinese communist party have.
Good luck with that!
The Chinese can't afford to have a low to no growth economic model like the West.
They require constant growth to keep the masses employed and happy while they slowly transition to a more service based economy.
100's of millions of angry Chinese is not a pretty picture for their leaders.
