    FROM THE ECONOMIST INTELLIGENCE UNIT 
  /LP,/TX   
    The government will struggle to balance the desire to reduce social 
    inequalities with the need to manage an increasingly challenging economic 
    environment in 2009-13. The slowing economy will increase political 
    instability. Strengthening control over the regions will also be a priority 
    for the central authorities. Unrest will persist among ethnic Tibetan and 
    Uighur minorities. 
     
    Following his promotion to the politburo standing committee (China's main 
    decision-making body) and the vice-presidency, Xi Jinping is the favourite 
    to take over the leadership of the ruling Chinese Communist Party from the 
    current general secretary, Hu Jintao, when the latter's term expires in 
    2012. 
     
    The integration of China into the global political system will cause 
    tensions with the US, not least because the two countries' political 
    perspectives differ widely. Relations with Japan will remain difficult, 
    despite a recent easing of tensions. China will become more diplomatically 
    proactive, especially in Africa. Economic and political ties with Taiwan 
    will improve in 2009-13. 
     
  /TX  Real GDP growth is forecast to slow, but will remain impressive, averaging 
    7.8% in the forecast period. The Economist Intelligence Unit expects 
    domestic demand to remain strong in 2009-13. Rapid private consumption 
    growth and increases in government spending will offset weaker net export 
    expansion. Downside risks are posed by the threat of a fall in consumer 
    confidence, but the government has room to increase its expenditure if 
    necessary. 
     
    Gross fixed investment growth will moderate in the forecast period, as 
    property investment slows. Consumer price inflation will turn negative in 
    2009, but will re-emerge as a problem later in the forecast period, as 
    labour shortages push up wages and rapid demand growth tests supply 
    constraints. 
     
    The renminbi will continue to be held in a managed exchange-rate system 
    while being allowed to appreciate gradually against the US dollar. Towards 
    the end of the forecast period market forces will gradually be allowed to 
    exert greater influence over the exchange rate. The government will slowly 
    ease restrictions on the capital account. 
     
    The current-account surplus will fall as a proportion of GDP in 2009-13 as 
    goods export growth slows and the economy continues to expand rapidly. The 
    export-competitiveness of manufactured goods will be eroded by the rising 
    value of the renminbi. Investment income from abroad will increase 
    strongly, but the services account will remain in deficit.
