China faces a whole series of issues, not the least of which is a gender gap as shown here:
http://viableopposition.blogspot.com/2011/01/chinas-growing-gender-gap-another-side.html
In some parts of China, their one child policy has led to up nearly 30 percent more males than females. This growing gender gap could ultimately lead to unrest in the country which will interfere with its economy, including its manufacturing capacity. As the world's factory, this will impact the economy of the entire world including that of the United States which needs the low-priced goods produced in China to keep its inflation rate under control and its interest rates low.
China's currency exchange rate is a FRAUD. Thanx to tibet, communist red china is today the world's largest gold producer, beating south africa. In the 1950s when china annexed tibet, price was $38 per ounce (today is $1370). China is RICH see China doesn't need the protection of a weak economy on the verge of collapse. Even tiny Taiwan has a free floating currency. It should be made to free its currency or no free trade. Obama act NOW!!
