When I said savings accounts, I should have said that wee jar where you put all your pennies and twopennies, maybe the off 5p: Then dip into it on Friday nights when you want a half pint and a packet of crisps.<br /><br />Yes, of course, as China becomes more and more expensive, there is always the opportunity for other countries to undercut it to provide Primark with clothes. Already I imagine that Pound shops are sourcing elsewhere.<br /><br />India, Brazil and Russia will want their share too.<br /><br />As you say, China is already moving into the sectors that we might have hoped to do well in... <br /><br />Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and later Mongolia and Nepal will, I suppose have their turn, along with the ex Soviet countries.

You'...Sorry guys, this post is way over my head! You'll need to define you obscure economic term for me...<br />What exactly is a *savings account*?<br /><br />More seriously though, good post! Bringing China in to it highlights the global context very well. <br />It is inevitable that China's wages will (continue to) rise, they have been for some time, in fact China itself does lose business to other countries in the region who are doing less well.<br />It is the consequence of the economies of the world unifiying at a global level, like pressure in a system previously compartmentalised, once the barriers are removed the pressure redistributes throughout the system and will tend towards an average - some will increase some will decrease. Over time China will likely cross a threshold that will makes it less competitive as a manufacturer. They seem to know this all to well, their science and tech base is developing rapidly (they just got world #1 slot for supercomputers).<br />This global process of equalisation in wages/productivity is also evident in the current currency 'battles', where currencies need to rebalance against one another at something closer to their 'true' values (particularly after the global financial scam and QE).<br /><br />Sad though that while China are focusing on narrowing the gap between rich and poor, we continue to go hell for leather to increase it :(somepapfaedundeenoreply@blogger.com
