I was speaking to Carson of Chinaprimer.com and he was discussing how China has not yet dealt with a major economic crisis since this more recent economic boom. It will be very interesting to see how the economic slowdown affects all Chinese people. For years the stock market was increasing four fold, wages and demand for employees was increasing and the picture being painted was rosy and perfect. Now the Chinese, like Americans and Europeans, will have to handle the economic downturn that inevitably follows such a rapid global expansion.
