China has grown for three decades at a pace no other country has ever
sustained. But 2006 may be the year when we begin to see problems.

Dec. 26, 2005 - Jan 2, 2006 issue - By the time you read this column,
China's economy will have jumped by 20 percent, or $300 billion. Based
on a new nationwide economic census, the National Bureau of Statistics
is making an upward revision of gross domestic product, which means
that China is now the world's fourth largest economy, bigger than
Italy, France and Britain. If you want a glimpse into the
not-so-distant future, note that China is growing more than four times
as fast as the next two countries on the list (Germany and Japan) and
more than twice as fast as No. 1, the United States.
