The beginning of China's deindustrialization?

Further evidence that China starts to follow the bubble neoliberal model, through a systematic, central planning. Official announcements contain IMF-type phrases like "structural reforms" concerning the economy, which shows a trend by the political elite to develop further correlation with the Western economic bloc.

The news are indicative of a probable intention by the central authority to lead the country towards a gradual deindustrialization, in order to meet the Western neoliberal model of the investment-bubble economy.

in the article, while their manufacturing output has continued to increase.

As hyper-automation seems to penetrate into almost every sector of the Chinese economy ...

It may be collapse of the Chinese economy or a transition to a service-based consumer economy like Europe and the West have undergone.

is that China follows the path of the West which tries to retain an increasingly unsustainable model for the benefit of the financial and corporate lobbies.

the US model which has benefited the 1%. Given the state of China's economy and its direction, I doubt that China will follow the Swedish model of deindustrialization and produce a strong middle class and fair distribution of income. It does seem destined to follow the US model.

But the worse thing is that this model is promoted rapidly by the elites through TTIP-type agreements and other mechanisms built by the lobbyists.
