Dantesque dropping of China's export model. "Factor in inflation over the last year and the plunge was 11.4 percent. Indications are that the December data will be even worse. Mr. Fung estimates that 10,000 of the 60,000 factories in China owned by Hong Kong interests have closed or will close in the coming months. Other business leaders say the toll may be even higher and that factory closings are an even bigger problem among mainland Chinese businesses because these tend to be smaller and more poorly capitalized than those owned by Hong Kong businesses.

Origin: 1825–35; Dant(e) + -esque; cf. F dantesque, It dantesco
