How much would Chinese economic growth slow if the 'Carbon Tariff' that seems to be talked about more and more was implemented by western countries?
People seem to think it's a forgone conclusion that China will continue on its current path of stunning growth well negating any chance that some crisis could completely derail the gains they've made. With about 800 million of it's citizens living in abject poverty, they don't all live in the coastal cities; there's a better chance China implodes over the next 20 years then it becoming an equal of the U.S.A or the EU. As it stands their about one crop failure away from massive food riots; forget about taking over the world.
