China may spring a nasty surprise -
Ruchir Sharma, Financial Express
The current debate on China’s future has two basic camps: the extremely bullish camp and the bearish camp. The extremely bullish camp likes to extrapolate past trends endlessly into the future, forecasting continued growth of 8% or better. The economists who are most bullish on China predict the economy will grow by 15% in dollar terms every year, or 8% growth in GDP plus 5% appreciation of the yuan and 3-4% inflation, which would be enough for China to “eclipse” the US in a decade.

Verbatim |
 There was for years an old "social contract" between politicians and business. This provided for complex rules and regulations that made it impossible to do business honestly in many fields. But it was possible to do business dishonestly, through pay-offs . Some called this "efficient corruption" : politicians took money and delivered clearances. However, the anti-corruption mood of the courts, and new fears of getting caught (like Pawan Bansal) have ended "efficient corruption" . Politicians may still take money but not deliver on clearances , what some call "inefficient corruption" that freezes investment and growth. The old social contract has broken down.
