Description: The bulk of Asia’s exports runs through, rather than to, the People’s Republic of China, leaving the region more exposed to downturns and anti-trade sentiments in developed countries than to a domestic slowdown in China. Governments should promote domestic growth and trade within Asia to lessen that exposure, economists argue in a new book by the Asian Development Bank Institute, Slowdown in the People’s Republic of China, Structural Factors and the Implications for Asia. Peter Morgan, co-chair of the research department at ADBI and one of the editors of the book, explains the conclusions of a paper by Willem Thorbecke of Japan’s Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry.
