The Chinese growth juggernaut is slowing down. The world’s second-largest economy has reported that it’s exports for December fell by 4.4%, the sharpest fall in two years (A) amidst rising trade tensions with the United States and fears of a global economic slowdown. (B) China’s trade surplus with (1)/ U.S. has increased to $323 billion, (2)/its highest level since 2016 (3)/and up 17% from a year ago.(4) This is likely to put added pressure on Chinese exports to the U.S. Besides, China’s factory activity contracted to a two-year low by the end of December while car sales in 2018 dropped for the first time since 1990, pointing to faltering demand from Chinese consumers. There are increasing fears that the Chinese government may further drop its growth target to 6% this year, from 6.5% last year. (C) Given its _______ (I) for global growth, markets across the world have naturally been worried about the _______ (II) of the Chinese economy. Its stock market, in particular, was the worst-performing among major economies last year. Apple, Jaguar Land Rover and other companies have warned of weak earnings due to a slowdown in their sales in China.

In particular, the government and the central bank have in recent years tried to wean the economy off cheap debt that fuelled its impressive growth run. The Chinese central bank fully opened the credit taps of the economy in the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis that threatened to derail growth. But even as it tries to steer the economy towards more consumption-led growth, the state has been wary of allowing economic sectors like real estate that __________________________ (F). A true restructuring of its export- and state-led economic model will not be possible until China allows the liquidation of uneconomical projects that were begun only because of the availability of ample amounts of cheap credit. This will be the first step towards building a more market-driven economy. But it is not clear whether China is willing to bite the bullet (G) and stop feeding its economy with cheap credit. It may be tempted (H) to go further and look at socialising the losses coming from defaults on business loans. None of this will be good for the long-term health of the Chinese or the global economy.
