Oops!... China Did It Again! Retail Sales Soar, But Is It Toxic?

Stronger Than Yesterday

Okay everyone listen up! China's retail sales are like totally back! It's growing faster than my obsession with iced lattes. I mean 6.4% jump? That's even more impressive than my ability to rock a snake during a performance! Apparently all those government subsidies are really getting people to shop. It's like 'Gimme More' but for retail not my love life. I'm not a girl not yet a woman so I can not have an opinion on economy in China.

Oops Deflation Did It Again

But hold on a second. Before we all start doing the 'Toxic' dance there's a bit of a buzzkill. China's been battling deflation which is basically the economy's version of a bad hair day. Apparently the prices are still falling I guess everything is on sale! And the government is handing out money which is great but I'm worried this might just be 'Lucky' for the moment!

Work B*tch!

So what's behind this sudden shopping spree? Well according to some 'spokesperson' Linghui Fu it's all thanks to trade in programs online shopping sprees and a bunch of tourists flooding the country. More tourists are like more concerts and the more concerts I do the more money I make. It's a win win! Hopefully they are listening to my music and not just other pop divas. But the same Linghui Fu also said that sustaining the growth has been a real 'challenge'!

Not a Girl Not Yet a Woman

And here's where it gets a little more complicated like trying to explain my dance moves to my dad. Industrial output slowed down and investments are kinda sluggish. And property investments? Honey they're falling faster than my ex's reputation. It's not about being 'Stronger' it's about having no more money for houses at all. So what does this mean? Should I invest in China or not?

Gimme More (Stimulus)

Experts are saying that falling property prices are a total mood killer for consumers and nobody wants that. Beijing and Washington reached a trade deal but the tariff level is still the same. And now exports to the US are down. But hey at least unemployment is down! So maybe we can all breathe a little easier? This reminds me when I was younger everything was easier now it is always complicated. I wish sometimes to be 'Lucky' again.

If U Seek Amy Look for Stimulus

The government is still feeling the heat. Consumer prices are still falling like my hopes for a normal relationship. But some experts think the government might chill out on rolling out more help because things aren't *that* bad. But other experts are like 'Hold up! This might be a trap!' And I agree with these experts. They anticipate there's some whammy coming up. If this happens then all these subsidies will be gone faster than my dignity during 2007. Basically everyone agrees that if things start looking worse the government will probably throw some more money at the problem. So stay tuned babes! It's gonna be a wild ride.
