China export business dropped by 35%, its GDP dropped by less than 1%. You are right.

Another misconception popped, and I thank you for educating me. I looked at most of your sources to see to what extent exports contribute to Chinese GDP growth. The seemingly credible ones suggest that the common perception of China as primarily an export platform is terribly wrong. allroadsleadtochina.com The trade surplus leads to bubble argument needs re-examination. And it began stupidly, too, because one must first determine whether a bubble indeed exists before assigning causes for it. So, the question is whether there is a Chinese bubble in the first place. It is a terribly important one for me because it calls into question the notion that we are undergoing ever-larger serial bubbles which are becoming global in nature.
