Last night i wondered why Chinas index was so low as the fundamentals for China s growth projections are 8.7 Then I thought could it be her currency peg to US? Possible tariffs? Do US companies have a way of avoiding tariffs if they are operating in China? Is it China's stock market has little governing and has already gone to high change of peg is reduction on exporter books. Right now the peg is shooting her in the foot as well as keeping ours in tack. >>The same make and model sells in NY for $1,200. Much of that mark-up is added into the US GDP. In fact on an item like that made in China and imported and sold in the US it adds more to the US GDP than it does to China's. I read briefly where a couple of economists were debating about US wages as their figures where showing when you adjust for inflation wages have actually decreased. They were unsure if the the long range result would be an increase in wages. If you add in China increasing our GDP figures it appears there is good reason for concern. To me it appears wages are increasing at the same level as the CPI
