  • Mizuho China Business Express Economic Journal (No
    October 27, 2017 Mizuho Bank (China), Ltd. Advisory Division ―The macroeconomy― Mizuho China Business Express Economic Journal (No. 72) Summary Though China’s real GDP growth rate slowed slightly to +6.8% y-o-y in July–September, it remained above the 2017 government’s target of ‘around +6.5%.’ Xi Jinping unveiled his ‘Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era’ at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. In his report, Xi Jinping said that after the Party had finished building a moderately prosperous society in all respects by 2020, a two-step approach should be taken (the first step from 2020 to 2035 and the second step from 2035 onwards) to build China into a ‘great modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious, and beautiful’ by the middle of the century. 1. September’s economic indicators improved on the previous month ・ Growth slowed to +6.8% over July–September ・ Production, investment and consumption all accelerated ・ The floor space of residential buildings sold grew at a slower y-o-y pace for the first time since March 2015 ・ Imports and exports both improved ・ CPI growth slowed while PPI growth accelerated ・ Net new loans and total social financing both increased 2. Topics: The economic policy position revealed at the National Congress ・ A change in the ‘principal contradiction facing Chinese society’ ・ Building a ‘great modern socialist country’ by the middle of the century - 1 - 1. September’s economic indicators improved on the previous month ･Growth slowed to +6.8% over July–September On October 19, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) announced that China’s real GDP growth rate had hit +6.8% in July–September, down from the +6.9% recorded in April–June (from here on, all figures refer to ‘same- period previous-year’ growth unless otherwise specified).

  • Xi Jinping's Economic Policy in the Run-Up to the 19Th Party Congress
    Xi Jinping’s Economic Policy in the Run-up to the 19th Party Congress: The Gift from Donald Trump Barry Naughton In the run-up to the 19th Party Congress in the fall of 2017, Xi Jinping has a strong interest in sustaining three narratives: the Chinese economy is growing stably, economic reform is moving forward, and a rising China is playing a more important role on the global scene. Xi has a good chance of sustaining all three of these narratives to his domestic audience, in part because of the valuable gift given him by the new U.S. president, Donald Trump. While we do not know the specific mental calculus being made by Xi Jinping, it is reasonable to assume that he is giving great attention to preparations for the 19th Party Congress, to be held in October or November of 2017. For Xi, there is much at stake. While his reelection as first party secretary is a foregone conclusion, the composition of the leadership group is still undetermined. According to the recently established norms of the Chinese Communist Party, only two of the seven current standing committee members—Xi himself and premier Li Keqiang—will continue on to the next standing committee. Whether Xi will respect the recent norms of leadership selection (per Alice Miller’s “three rules” for the selection of Standing Committee members) is not yet known.1 Without doubt, the choice of the other five members will determine the extent to which Xi succeeds in consolidating power and whether—if he chooses—Xi will be able to elevate his personal power above the institutional norms of the Communist Party.

    Ownership and Innovation in Chinese Solar Photovoltaic Firms: An Analysis of the Effects of State, Private, and Foreign Shareholding on Patenting Performance Radomir Tylecote Thesis submitted for the award of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) The copyright of this thesis rests with the author and is made available under a Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial No Derivatives licence. Researchers are free to copy, distribute or transmit the thesis on the condition that they attribute it, that they do not use it for commercial purposes and that they do not alter, transform or build upon it. For any reuse or redistribution, researchers must make clear to others the licence terms of this work. 1 Abstract This thesis is a quantitative study of the effect of ownership – by state, private and foreign shareholdings – on innovation by China’s solar photovoltaic (PV) firms. Using the country’s solar PV industry, I seek to explain the impact of proportions of these different types of shareholding (and within the state category shareholding by central, provincial, and municipal governments) on innovative capacity. This capacity is measured by firms’ rates and qualities of patenting. As Chinese economic growth falters, amid the “re-shoring” of certain manufacturing capabilities, the role of the state, and whether it is helping or hindering its economy’s – and Chinese firms’ – technological upgrading, is a vital question. This is particularly true in high-tech sectors, including solar PV, which the Chinese government deems essential for the country’s continuing economic growth. Through the solar PV industry, we investigate the role of the state, and how it is helping or hindering Chinese companies’ innovation.
