East Asia dynamics re-defined
(When China Rules the World, Martin Jacques, 2009)
•
Complex supply chain centred on China
•
ASEAN + 3; ACFTA (largest FTA with 2b people); 2003 Treaty of Amity
& Cooperation; Chiang Mai Initiative (currency swaps);‘East Asia FTA’ +
‘Asian Monetary Fund’; ASEAN + 6 ; Process-oriented Constructivism
(Socialization of Power – Influence without Authority) Qin Yaqing + Wei
Ling, in China’s Ascent, Cornell University Press, 2008)
•
China now South Korea’s largest trading partner + Singapore + Philippines
+ Thailand all closer to China (all formal US allies)
•
Intra-NE Asia trade (China, Japan, Taiwan + 2 Koreas) 52% total 5,
ASEAN imports + 30-40% p.a.
•
4 x US aid to Philippines; 2 x Indonesia; far > US to Laos, Cambodia,
Myanmar (Chinese navy access to Indian Ocean)
•
Increasing Mandarin learning + Chinese tourists
•
Australia double benefit – rising resource export and cheap imports
•
Taiwan more accommodating
•
Japan - Manufacturing; trade > US, influence < Japanese nationalism
•
US influence declining except for naval power
•
East Asia Economic Union? Asian Dollar? RMB regional currency? A
future Asian Commonweath?

How Open is China’s Economy?
• Open economy- Closed society? ‘No Pepsi in Danone’, CocaCola v
Huiyuan (Anti-Trust?), Diageo v Shui Jing Fang 水井坊
• Trade = 75% GDP (v US < 40%, Japan, India, Brazil 25 – 35%)
• China’s foreign trade growing faster than GDP over past 25 yrs
• FDI $90b, first amongst developing countries, 3 rd largest in world
• Massive IPOs - BoC ($9.7b), ICBC ($21.9b), Alibaba ($1.5 b, largest
Internet IPO v Google; Sinopec ($7.3b 100% Swiss Addax Petroleum
2009 ; China XD Electric ($1.5b largest 2010); global IPO $5.6 b Jan
2010 (only $72 m, 2009) - $4.5 b or 79% by China.
• Private sector 70% economy (Hu Angang)
• Growing consumption: Retail $800 b (2006) < only US, Japan, > rest
of Asia. 30% global retail growth 2003-8, ~$1.3 T by 2012; World’s
largest car market (13.5 m v 10.9 m in US), 48.7m v 250 m cars in
US. 2009 best selling BYD Multi-hybrid. Most buyers households <
mileage (Why gasoline consumption doesn’t gel!)
• FDI policies -SEZs, tech parks distort market (China Daily 27.2.08 )
• State’s ‘Visible Hand’: RMB, exchange control, SOEs (+ Big Four
Banks 34.5% total lending); macro-adjustment policies. Total loans fell
22% to RMB7.5 T v +95% 2009, moderating M2 expansion to 17%

The Triffin Dilemma
•
Article by Zhou Xiaochuan, Governor, PBOC
•
1960s USD glut (Marshall Plan + exuberant US economy)
led to abandoning the Gold Standard
•
Triffin Dilemma – Conflict of Goals or Interest between
national v global monetary requirements
•
Reinforced SDRs to be managed by IMF; supported by a
pool of currencies; SDR-denominated securities and assets;
SDRs as medium of international trade
•
Unlikely to materialize anytime soon but apparent support
from
o Benn Steil, Director of International Economics, US
Council of Foreign Relations
o Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel Prize laureate and head of UN
Panel
o Jeffrey Sachs, Professor of Columbia University and
Special Advisor to UN Seccretary-General
o Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Managing Director, IMF
o Brazilian President
o Russian Presidential aide
•
Subject to Voting Rights adjustment, China willing to
assume more proactive IMF role (a) to help regulate global
finances (b) to address the Triffin Dilemma (c) to help
protect China’s USD Savings (d) to build up the RMB as an
international currency for eventual convertibility
11
Getting out of the US Dollar Trap
• The USD Trap (Paul Krugman, Nobel Prize laureate)
• Zhou Xiaochuan, Governor, PBOC hinted at unofficial
USD peg being ‘temporary’ (FT 6.03.2010)
• Three Ways out of the USD (Nomura, 5 March 2010)
(1) Incremental Diversification out of US
Treasuries (Dec 2009 foreign-held UST dropped $53b of
which $34.2 due to China)
(2) Reducing current account surplus (gradual
RMB appreciation, more imports, more consumption,
outward FDI (inc SWF) especially in resources e.g.
 Aluminum Corp of China (Chinalco) $19.5 b in
Rio Tinto
 $25 b loan for 15 m tons crude for 20 yrs with
Russia’s Rosneft and Transneft
 $10 b loan for oil deal with Kazakhstan
 $10 b Sinopec deal with Petrobras (20.5.2009)
(3) Eventual RMB internationalization as a global
reserve currency e.g.
 Currency swaps (> $120 b)
 Promoting RMB as settlement currency (HK + Asian
countries)
 Issuing RMB bonds (initially in HK)

MegaTrend 1 – Massive Urbanization
McKinsey Global Institute (Preparing for China’s
Urban Billion, March 2008) :
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
1 b urbanites by 2025, + 350 m in 221 cities
each > 1 m population (EU=35)
15 super-cities each > 25 m population
11 hub-and-spoke conurbations each > 60 m
population
Westward Ho! Most new urbanization to
spawn in currently-less-developed central,
north-east and western provinces
Concentrated mode of urbanization projected
to save 35% of carbon footprint and 2.5%
GDP in government expenditure
A YouTube snapshot

Global implications: resources, business
opportunities, experimentation, civil society
13
MegaTrend 2 – Rapid Mobility
•
Extensive inter-provincial highway
network 2nd only to US Interstate in 17
years
•
Railway (6% of world’ total length, 25%
total traffic) to increase from 78,000 km to
100,000 km by 2020 (world’s largest
railway expansion since 19th century)
•
More city conurbations to be linked by
integrated transport infrastructure e.g.
$ 1.64b sea-spanning bridge over
Hangzhou Bay linking Shanghai to
Ningbo and other cities in the Provinces of
Zhejiang and Jiangsu with a combined
population of 72.4 million
•
Global implications: rapidly developing
Chinese middle-class, changing lifestyles,
vast supply chains
14
MegaTrend 3 – Rise of the middle-class
•
Combined urban disposable income of @annual
household income > RMB 100,001 to 200,000 to grow
from 0.1% of total 2005 to 36.4% by 2025 (Serving the
New Chinese Consumer, The McKinsey Quarterly, 2006
Special Edition).
•
Largely come from 100 m ‘single-child’ generation, inc
post-80s, post-90s, and 21st century new-comers
•
Luxury goods sales already 12% by value of world’s
total, to grow to 33% by 2015
•
Car ownership to expand from 11/1,000 towards world
average 120/1,000 (<US 500/1,000) 500 m cars by 2050
(Goldman Sachs)
•
Young entrepreneurs to jump from current 300,000
•
Average 50,000 USD millionaires to be added annually
•
A more consumer-oriented economy emerging in
coming decades
•
Global implications: reducing over-reliance on exports,
mitigating economic imbalance with the US.
15
MegaTrend 4 – Largest moderate-income economy
•
China > US by 2027/28 and > by 75% by 2050
(when India = US) (Goldman Sachs, The
Economist, 30.6.2007)
•
China’s @GDP ranks < 100 in the world =
some poorest countries in Africa. By 2050,
@GDP = middle-income nation in Asia or
Eastern Europe
•
Aging population profile ( > 30% to be aged 60
or over by 2050) Subsidized voluntary basic
pension plan for rural population to grow from
60% in 2010 to 80% by 2015
•
Legacy of One-Child Policy, 4-2-1 phenomenon,
relaxed if both parents single children, likely to
be relaxed further
•
Still > 100 m with < $1 a day v 800 m such in
1978. Poverty to shrink significantly in coming
decades
•
Global implications: China will get old before
getting rich. Needs a benign internal and external
environment to consolidate an economic
foundation to face social and financial burden of
a looming aged profile
16
MegaTrend 5 – Quiet Green Revolution
•
•
•

•
Green Great Wall 4,480 km forestation absorbing 8% or
500m tons emissions p.a.- 20% or 1 b tons absorption by 2010.
Small coal-power plants of < 10m kW capacity closed by
2007. Most of < 50m kW likely to be cleared or expanded
within a decade.
To invest $2.3 trillion in energy development 2001-30, inc
$200b to increase renewable energies from 8.3% to 10% of
primary energy by 2010 and 15% by 2020, + 7% to 10% p.a.
by 2010 and 20% p.a. by 2020, inc hydro-electric, nuclear,
coal-seam gas, biomass, wind, solar, terrestrial heat and wave
energies (IEA)
Hydro-electric power world’s first in installed capacity 145
m kW and 482.9 billion kWh power generation
Total of 110 million square meters of solar panels by far the
world’s largest
Wind power has increased 7 x to > 6 m kW, 5th largest
2 nuclear power stations p.a. for the next 15 years.
BYD, (Shenzhen) introduced 15.12.2008 world’s first massproduced plug-in hybrid electric vehicle @US$22,000,
range 100 km on electric engine. Miles XS500, range 120
miles at 80 mph, to launch in Tianjin in 2009 (Iain Carson and
Vijay V Vaitheeswaran, Zoom: The Global Race to Fuel the
Car of the Future, Hachette Book Group, 2007)
Dongtan eco-city concept of sustainable housing and urban
design on the cards for new cities, towns and villages. Ecofriendly lifestyle catching on with rising middle-class.
Methane gas from human and animal waste in villages
Law on the Circular Economy effective 1.1.2009 mandating
energy, water, and material recycling, conservation and
emission reduction supported by tax breaks and fines.
Global implications: an ecologically-conscious society with
1/5 mankind; world’s car industries to be revolutionized
17
MegaTrend 6 – Science, Technology and Innovation
•
Chang’e-1 Moon Probe (2007), Shenzhou-7 Space Walk (2008).
Planned Tiantong-1 small space station in 2010 -11 + docking with
Shenzhou 8, 9, & 10; Lunar Rover on moon surface 2013-17; Lunar
Rover exploration and return 2017-20; planned satellite Yinghuo1(+ Russian Phobos-Grunt) to fly towards Mars 2009; possible
participation in European Space Agency’s Aurora manned Mars
exploration program 2030
•
5m university graduates p.a. mainly engineers and technologists,
top in nos.scientific papers. Vast majority no productive research.
Still no home-grown Nobel Prize laureates. Committee
representation, let alone chairmanship, extremely low in world-class
scientific organizations
•
But fast developing technologies in energy and water resources,
environmental conservation, proprietary technologies, life sciences,
aeronautics, and ocean sciences
•
Various silicon valleys, leading science parks e, g. Beijing’s
Zhongguancun and high-tech cities like Hefei, Anhui. 40% of
overseas post-doctoral students in US are from China. Growing
numbers of scientific returnees to seek greener pastures
•
International corporate R& D centres 750 (100 in India), 35% v
UK 47% and US 59%
•
Shenyang Aircraft Corporation joint ventures in assembly and
fuselage manufacture with Boeing, Airbus and Bombardier. May
2008, Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China formed with
capitalization of $2.7 billion to compete with Boeing and Airbus.
China’s home-made regional jet ARJ21 maiden flight on
28.11.2008 with an order book > 100 aircraft
•
Global implications: China’s aerospace industry, including
commercial satellites, is set to grow by leaps and bounds.
International space program cooperation. Growing competition in
world’s aircraft industries. Advances in life and environmental
sciences and commercialization
18
MegaTrend 7 – China goes more Global
• 3 world top 5 by market capitalization - PetroChina ($1trillion, 2 x
ExxonMobile), ICBC (world’s largest bank), and ChinaMobile
• Chinese corporations + SWFs taking equity in financial and energy
companies: ICBC 20% in Standard Bank, Africa’s largest bank;
CHINALCO (Aluminum Corp of China) planned 30% stake in bauxite
mine of Rio Tinto; Geely bought Volvo from Ford for $1.8b and majority
stake in Magnanese Bronze (London Black Cab)
• Controlled outflow - $10b (Deutsche Bank); Liberalising QDII - 50%
overseas investment quota for approved equity funds
• 4 of Big Five state-controlled banks have embraced foreign equity: HSBC
19.9% of BoCom; BoA 10% of CCB; Goldman Sachs 10% of ICBC; RBS’s
(recently divested) 10% of BoC. Local incorporation of foreign banks –
Citibank, HSBC, SCB, BEA
• China to grow RMB private equity – Wu Xiaoling, Dep Gov, PBoC, 2007
China M & A Annual Conference, Tianjin. Launch of stock index futures
– approved in principle (08.01.2010)
• RMB as storage of value and stable means of exchange. RMBdenominated transactions and financial products more acceptable for
China-related businesses. Eventual full convertibility.
• China to build 3 transnational high-speed (200-350 km/hr) rail links by
2025 (a) Kunming to SE Asia (Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia,
Singapore); (b) Urumqi to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Germany?) (c) Heilongjiang – Siberia – W Europe (BJ/Lon in 2 days)
(SCMP 8 March 2010)
19
MegaTrend 8 - Defense
•
Historical trauma with continental-sized borders and
coastline anxious to protect territorial integrity
(including Taiwan) + choke-points of life-blood
energy supply
•
Total defense expenditure (2/3 for personnel,
training and maintenance) < UK, Japan, France, and
Germany v US expenditure > rest of world combined.
As % GDP, much < UK, Russia and France v US
(China’s 2006 National Defense White Paper)
•
In light of US repeatedly rejection of call from 160
countries, China included, to de-militarize space,
China showed capability of killing moving satellite as
space defense deterrence
•
Already a nuclear power, only major country without
a single aircraft carrier, doubt about cost- benefit of
blue-water navy + regional diplomatic interests
giving way to clear signal (Defense Minster, 20.3.09)
•
Likely to to keep up with modern military technology
for more cost-effective credible deterrence,
including submarines and asymmetric warfare
•
Global implications: need for more transparency to
ease ungrounded fears (China needs benign
environment to continue survival); scope for more
international cooperation for peace-keeping and fight
against piracy
20
MegaTrend 9 – Building a Harmonious World
•
Best defense is having no enemies – Confucian Harmony Also joining no
blocs.
•
Simply cannot afford to be aggressive. Need for benign environment to
build solid foundation - numerous challenges and contradictions + looming
aging population profile
•
US - Leadership accepted except where national interests undermined, but
differences on China’s internal issues and international approach to conflict
resolution remain
•
EU- main trading partner and plenty of scope for economic, trade, investment,
technological, and scientific cooperation, but differences on China’s internal
issues remain, less so v US
•
Russia – Energy partner and balance against uni-polarity
•
ME – Main oil supply source – eager to see more stability (geopolitics) but
unlikely to intervene in ME politics
•
ASEAN and the Asia community growing importance in global supply
chain + geopolitical advantages in the Asia-Pacific
•
Central Asia - Shanghai Cooperation Organization – harmony in neighboring
region and alternative energy supply route – national security
•
Africa for 3rd world cooperation and trade/investment in resources
•
Latin America – also 3rd world support + Venezuela (energy + support in US
backyard); Brazil (soybeans and resources)
•
Global implications: Waning dominance + economic symbiosis, US needs
China as much as China needs US (Global Trends 2025 – A Transformed
World, National Intelligence Council, Washington D.C., November, 2008).
China growing global influence likely more active in UN, World Bank and
the IMF, dynamics for a more harmonious world best suited to China’s
national interests.
21
22
MegaTrend 10 – Civil Society
•
Vibrant civil society rapidly developing, e.g. spontaneous response to Sichuan earthquake
•
Quarter of a million local NGOs campaign for consumer rights + environment + the under-privileged
•
80 to 100 million practising Christians (Jesus in Beijing, David Aikman, 2003)
•
Vibrant 36 million blogs.
•
More public hearings for major polices, often mandated by law
•
Local elections held for all village and county chiefs and urban neighborhood committees
•
More party secretaries and senior officials monitor public feedback through the internet
•
CPC ‘government for the people’, law-based governance, official accountability, public transparency, public
consultation, fight against corruption, more freedom of expression as instruments for legitimacy. Direct entry to
government through public examinations. Competitive progression to high office. Confucian ideal of Mandate of
Heaven ‘shi ren xinzhe, shi tianxia’ (He who loses the hearts and minds of the people, loses the world).
•
CPC think-tank on reform of political system post-17th Party Congress – NPC and CPPCC, centralizing power to
appoint judges in the provinces (Storming the Citadel, Professor Zhou Tianyong et al, November 2007).
•
Global network of Confucius Institutes, ultra-modern CCTV English channels, ancient culture and architecture,
UNESCO-designated world heritage sites, colorful arts and customs all attracting an ever-mounting number of
foreign tourists + trade, business, professional, academic, and educational visitors from all corners of world
•
Renaissance China defined by 21st C interpretation of the Confucian Golden Mean, calibrated balance between
opposites, + prudent harmony between contradictions
•
23
Global failure of market fundamentalism + looming ecological collapse - a blindness to excess and a disregard
for prudence. A renaissance China stands a good chance of restoring a measure of global balance and harmony.
A roadmap for Sustainable Industrial Development
State Council, October 2008
•
Value-added hi-tech industries + 5% : IT, bio-eng, aeronautics, space
aviation, new energy & materials, marine industries

•
Renewable energies - nuclear, hydro, solar, wind, biomass, marsh gas,
solid + liquid bio-fuels as % primary energy by up to 10%; coal-bed gas up
to 10 bcm
•
‘Less input, consumption, emission + high efficiency’, including energy
optimization, energy conservation and eco-preservation
•
Concrete progress building water-conserving society; complete anti-flood
systems large rivers + drought resistance of farmlands

Green Power – 2005 % Coal (81) 2030 % Coal (34) hydro (19), nuclear (16), wind
(12), solar (8), gas (8), other (4)
Green Transport – 330m cars by 2030 > US; 100% green cars by 2020 = oil import
less 30-40%
Green Industry – 1/3 of energy consumed 44% emissions; technology, efficiency,
standards, conservation, recycling (e.g. coal-bed methane), agric waste, CCS
Green Buildings – eco-villages, towns and cities; natural gas, CFL (compact
fluorescent light-bulbs); green designs, efficient heating and ventilation
Green Ecosystems – Forest coverage being raised from 11 to 20% by 2010; regulated
grazing; widespread use of agricultural methane (already 23m homes); sustainable
agriculture – land management, desertification and water management

Collapse, How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed,
Jared Diamond, Penguin Books, 2009
–
Easter Island – Splendid isolation, 1400 m from
nearest habitable island; first settled 900 A.D,
original pristine paradise, Giant Palm (80 ft tall,
6 ft diameter); statue (moai) production peaked
1200-1500, @up to 65 ft tall 270 tons;
accumulative deforestation; collapse of food
chain; by 1700 population crashing + wars, all
statues toppled by 1884, today only 2 small trees
and 2 small shrubs left
–
Greenland Inuit v Norse – Adapted sewn-skin
kayak + harpoons with bladder floats as efficient
hunting machines for resource-rich whales;
Norse tied to European origin: church, walrus
tusks for income (wiped out by new supply of
ivory from new colonial era)
