 E-Notes: Democracy and Its Limits in Greater China - FPRI
China’s notoriously weak financial institutions generally have impeded growth and threatened to produce an economic and, in turn, political crisis if depositors were to lose confidence in banks burdened by a vast portfolio of non-performing loans to state enterprises.
Stavis argued that some Chinese statistics perhaps overstated the magnitude of some of China’s problems, that outside commentators for many years often and incorrectly have predicted an imminent crisis in China, and that the PRC leadership understood many of the problems it faced and was taking some effective measures to address some of them.
As the inventory of countries with which China would be expected to seek, and not seek, better ties indicates, this vision of a democratic China’s foreign policy would entail especially improved relations with the many democracies along its borders and beyond.
