A mixed bag Asset-backed securities hold promise and peril for China’s capital market

A

nn Rutledge was in Hong Kong when Mao died, got in on the ground floor of economic reforms and helped set up the Hong Kong futures exchange before going into asset-backed securities (ABS)—the same financial tools widely blamed for the global financial crisis in 2008. So you might expect her to have long since ceased being surprised by China’s financial markets.

Not so.

When she applied for a grant with the SWIFT Institute to study China’s asset-backed securities market, Rutledge said, “I assumed the Chinese market would look similar to the US market, but with Chinese-flavored assets… but I figured wrong.”

What she found was a burgeoning sector beset by legal vagaries and bisected by dueling regulators and asset classes, one that could potentially do for China what it did for the United States: Supply companies with far greater liquidity while providing investors with an asset class that can be tailored to suit their risk profile, all (ideally) without culminating in a crisis like the one in America that rocked markets the world over.

While still relatively small, in recent years the securitization market in China has grown as rapidly as government quotas will allow. If given more room for healthy growth, ABS could help pull a substantial sum out of China’s notorious shadow banking sector – where

wealth management products often act like ABS, but lack any semblance of transparency. Kingsley Ong, a partner at the law firm Eversheds International who helped draft China’s asset-backed security laws, said that based on rising demand for better investment opportunities, the potential for securitization in China was “practically unlimited”.

But as Rutledge and other observers have also pointed out, a lack of data on the nuts and bolts of the great majority of deals in this emerging market, together with widespread inexperience among investors who rely on caution instead of expertise, raise questions about its influence on the economy at large.

“I don’t want to sound like an alarmist—I’m not. I’m a proponent of [ABS],” Rutledge said. “But… when people want to see a market grow they’ll say anything, and they’ll turn a blind eye to things that are obviously problematic.”

Stop-start progress China’s securitization market began in April of 2005, when the central bank and banking regulator established a pilot market and regulations. Those were suspended in 2009, by which time the role of American mortgagebacked securities in kick-starting what had become a global financial crisis had

THE HOUSE VIE W

become common knowledge—a move even more critical voices on China’s economy say made sense.

“While I am sometimes a critic, I will say I can understand China saying ‘hey, we better figure out this product and this market before we allow it to go full bore in ours,’” said Christopher Balding, professor of economics at Peking University.

Once the dust had settled from America’s financial implosion, Beijing looked once more to securitization as a promising financing tool, and in May of 2012 revived the market—though it forbade the structures (re-securitizations and synthetics) that caused the crisis in the US. Eddie Hu, a partner at the Shanghai office of consultancy King & Wood Mallesons who has advised banks, auto finance companies and financial firms on asset-backed securitizations, chalked a recent increase in issuance up to an

easing of regulations. Before 2015, firms had to get case-by-case approval from the authorities; now they can sell freely once they’ve registered regulators.

“The administrative process has been simplified, incentivizing those who originate and issue to do more securitization,” Hu said.

Since the ban was lifted, issuance of asset-backed securities (ABS) in China has grown by leaps and bounds: In 2014 China overtook South Korea to become the largest securitization market in Asia, and this year issuance had topped RMB235 billion (US$36.88 billion) by late October, up 18.5% for the year to date, according to Bloomberg data.

“It’s grown very rapidly,” Balding said, “however in comparison to things like bank lending or even the general bond market… it’s simply tiny.”

Structural complexity Balding attributed that relatively minuscule market size to two main factors: A preference among Chinese investors for less complex financial products and, perhaps most vitally, a lack of understanding of what exactly they are.

In this many Chinese investors are not alone, as the apparent complexity of ABS is among the many attributes that help make the sector seem impenetrable to outsiders.

An asset-backed security essentially takes contractual future cash flows or expected stable operating cash flows and converts them into immediately fungible funds by borrowing against those flows and the assets that generate them. For example, as has been done with certain expressways in China, the company that owns a toll road can use that road as collateral in order to get financing from investors now based

on the income it has yet to make from tolls paid by drivers who will use said road.

To actually come up with the money, the company can set up an issuing financing vehicle that offers interest-bearing securities to investors based on those expected cash flows from future toll payments. Once investor financing is secured, the vehicle will actually buy the toll road from the company—so the company gets money now, and the financial instrument begins directing money from toll payments directly to the investors holding the securities until the promised payouts are paid off in full.

If the cash flows from the toll road dry up, the investors can take the road and sell it off as compensation. And because the company doesn’t actually own the road anymore, it can’t stop the issuer from transferring ownership to those investors.

A financial institution typically helps set up the issuer – known as a special purpose vehicle (SPV) – that issues securities to investors, often in different batches that are classified based on their level of risk, which is tied to priority of repayment. The risk level of each batch is certified by one or more ratings agencies.

The credit rating for such securities can be higher than that of the company from which they originated because the risk being evaluated is that of the cash flows themselves. “So your company might not be triple-A, but you can still issue bonds that are triple-A,” Evershare’s Ong said. “That is a phenomenal advantage.” Thus, securitization can enable a company to raise funds more easily than might be otherwise possible through a loan based on its balance sheet. It also creates a new class

of investment with risk portioned out to suit the tastes of investors, which can range from more cautious pension funds to less risk-averse private hedge funds.

But Beijing has added another wrinkle to the proceedings by separating ABS into two categories, administered by two different regulators.

Market landscape Beijing has added another wrinkle to the proceedings by separating ABS into two categories administered by two different regulators.

The first, most-favored variety falls under the Credit Assets Securitization Scheme (CASS) and trades on China’s interbank market. Here, assets originate with banks, trust companies, lenders and auto finance firms, securities for which are issued by trust companies on their behalf to be snapped up by institutional investors.

CASS is also the bigger and more liquid market: As of June 25, 12% of all 2016 Chinese securitizations to date were CASS, accounting for 82.2% of the total principal issuance of RMB605 billion, according to Rutledge’s findings, published in a working paper published in September by the SWIFT institute.

Of the 127 CASS deals analyzed in the working paper, nearly three quarters were collateralized loan obligations (CLOs)—securities backed by a pool of debt, typically sourced from small- and medium-sized enterprises. The nextlargest cohort, auto loans, stood at just over 10%.

Yet while similar CLO offerings are priced lower than general-purpose corporate bonds in US and UK markets, in China they aren’t.

“What that seems to indicate is that

10

China Economic Review | December 2015

either the companies aren’t selling the [securitized] bonds properly… or the investors don’t believe what the companies are saying, they don’t believe that the securitized bond is giving them anything more tangible in return,” Balding said.

Investing in the dark The reason behind such puzzling valuation of the interbank market’s most popular ABS offering may lie in a shortage of two key assets: Information and experience.

Rutledge, also an adjunct assistant professor at the Hong Kong University of Science & Technology and the founder of securitized asset assessor R&R Consulting, said that her firm only dealt with deals for which performance data was available, narrowing the options considerably.

“The only deals that I can get what we call servicer data - what we call underlying performance data - on are coming out of deals that foreign manufacturers are doing, specifically the auto manufacturers,” she said.

That attraction stems largely from the fact that reporting for auto loan ABS issued by foreign firms is standardized, and includes information on the assets generating the cash flows in addition to sectoral exposure and .

Disclosures from automakers like Nissan, BMW and Volkswagen allow ABS investors to determine how many loans are delinquent, how many have defaulted, the likelihood of being repaid in full on time.

Indeed, Hu said the performance record of auto loans’ underlying asset pools was “quite good compared with other corporate loans because they’re very diversified,” making for a perform-

ance record “that will be attractive to international investors.”

For the roughly 90% of the CASS market that isn’t backed by auto loans, this vital performance data isn’t made public, although it is collected by the China Central Depository & Clearing, the official clearing company for the interbank market.

Trust issues Outside of China’s interbank market, ABS growth is being held back by the uncertain legal status of the legal framework currently available for use by nonfinancial institutions in securitizing assets.

The question comes down to the kind of special-purpose vehicle that is created to issue securities to investors on behalf of a company and which takes on ownership of its assets. In short, while the tool used by financial institutions (a special-purpose trust) is wellestablished in PRC law, the only one available to non-financial firms isn’t.

Under the current setup, known as the Asset Backed Specific Plan (ABSP) model, these companies have to use contracts to transfer ownership of assets. The resulting ABS cannot be traded on the interbank market, but can be offered to retail investors and even listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges. But the grounds on which those underlying contracts are permitted only amount to administrative rules, which can be overruled by a host of higher regulations.

As laid out in a recent study of China’s securitization law published in the Capital Markets Law Journal and coauthored by Ong, such rules “may have different levels of enforcement in different parts of China, and may be subject

THE HOUSE VIE W

to policy changes over time, or even competing political interests.”

That means the rights of investors who hold ABS aren’t guaranteed payment, which forestalls development of securitizations by non-financial institutions any time soon. As the study’s authors write, “[the] securitization industry may need to remain patient.”

This helps explain why as of late June, when data for the SWIFT working paper was gathered, principal issuance in the ABSP market had grown only 3.4 times that seen prior to the 2008 market hiatus, while average deal size had fallen to RMB3.87 billion (US$607.7 million), only 56% of its pre-freeze level.

Meanwhile, ABS trading on China’s interbank market has expanded to gigantic proportions by comparison: As of June 25, principal issuance of CASS had grown to RMB497.6 billion (US$78.09 billion), eight times what it was in 2008, while average deal size grew just over 1% to RMB3.29 billion.

Untapped potential Eddie Hu at King & Wood Mallesons said that the clearer picture for investors of underlying assets and risk pointed to brighter prospects going forward of ABS issued by financial institutions.

But even here he was conservative, citing recent cuts by the central bank to China’s benchmark lending rate as easing any pressure mainland banks were under to find more funding.

“I don’t think there will be a leaping increase in issuance numbers or size, but I think the number of issuances and issuance size will increase gradually in the coming years,” Hu said, pointing in particular to local commercial banks at the city level and below as likely to try their hand at ABS.

That is looking more likely in light of recent regulatory easing: In June, Reuters reported that the China Banking Regulatory Commission had granted provincial branches permission to green-light new issuance for cities’ commercial banks for their ABS plans— though big banks apparently still needed issuance approval from the commission’s headquarters in Beijing.

Yet even those approved by the banking regulator remain opaque by the basest standards of international ABS investing, Rutledge said, adding that knowledge of the routines used by securitization analysts to rate the batches issued in securitizations was sketchy as well.

“People are doing deals and the deals seem to work, but one of the reasons the deals are working is because the high performing collateral is what’s being securitized,” said Rutledge.

That leaves open the question of whether China’s ABS investors will be able to tell what they’re getting themselves into when regulations on what can be securitized within the interbank market are eventually loosened once new finding new sources of funding becomes a priority—particularly if performance data remains as scarce as it is now.

“You can’t put a fence up and expect it to contain water. Water flows. Money flows,” Rutledge said.

NEWS HIGHLIGHTS IMF to add yuan to SDR reserve currency basket The International Monetary Fund admitted the Chinese yuan to the Special Drawing Rights basket of reserve currencies alongside the dollar, euro, yen and pound, Reuters reported. The yuan will have a 10.92% share, in line with expectations, after a review of the weightings formula for the SDR which also cut the euro’s share by more than six percentage points. The yuan’s inclusion in the basket from October 2016 is a largely symbolic move with few immediate implications for financial markets. But it is the first time an additional currency has been added to the SDR basket, which determines which currencies countries can receive as part of IMF loans.

Mainland stock exchanges tighten restrictions on margin trading The Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges raised margin requirements from 50% to 100% in a move meant to prevent systemic risks from building up in China’s financial system, Bloomberg reported, citing a statement from the Shanghai bourse. The rule change limits margin investors to borrowing from brokerages only as much as is in their current account, rather than double that, as was previously the case--and which helped intensify this summer’s equities boom-turned-bust. The Shanghai exchange said in a microblog post that the move would reduce leverage and ensure “healthy development” of the market.

Family planning office demands one-child enforcement until new law passed The National Health and Family Planning Commission lashed out at a provincial office in Hunan for its plans not to harshly penalize those who gave birth to a second child before a new two-child policy is enacted, South China Morning Post reported. The national commission stressed that the new policy cannot be implemented until the National People’s Congress Standing Committee amends the Population and Family Planning Law. Each province will then draft its own implementation plan for local people’s congresses to approve and change their family planning laws, usually done in the first quarter.

Beijing delays financial liberalization in the face of economic woes Beijing is delaying opening of its financial borders as the leadership shifts to emphasize stability in response to economic slowdown, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing a wide range of officials, executives and advisers as well as the minutes of a September closed-door meeting of top leaders from the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance. But even a new target of 6.5% annual economic growth for the next five years, announced by President Xi Jinping, may prove hard to hit, with analysts saying that it would require steppedup stimulus measures that would run counter to long-discussed reforms that could squeeze near-term growth.

J.P. Morgan hired family, friends of Chinese execs for nine out of 12 IPOs

MSCI adds 14 overseas-listed Chinese firms to emerging market index

Bacteria-hopping gene found in China could enable worldwide antibiotic resistance

J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. hired the family and friends of executives at nine out of 12 major Chinese companies it took public from 2004 to 2013, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing a document compiled by the bank to submit to US investigators in April as part of a federal bribery investigation. The document lists 222 candidates hired by the bank under a program known internally as “Sons and Daughters,” and names the people who referred them—the most detailed accounting yet of the overlap between the program and the bank’s business in China. listings included Agricultural Bank of China (US$22 billion), China railway group (US$5.9 billion) and CGN Power (US$3.6 billion)

MSCI has added 14 overseas-listed Chinese firms - including Alibaba Group and Baidu - to its influential MSCI Emerging Market index, Reuters reported, citing a statement from the company. Analysts estimate the rebalancing could trigger up to US$70 billion in net flows into the group of stocks over the next half year and bump up China’s weight in the index by three percentage points to 26% in the process. Overseas-listed Chinese firms also comprised the lion’s share of 18 securities added to MSCI’s China Index. MSCI chose to exclude mainland-listed A-shares from its global indices in June, shortly before a dramatic selloff ended a months-long rally in China stocks.

Scientists in China have discovered that a gene enabling resistance to the sole remaining fully functioning class of antibiotics, colistin, is widespread in bacteria carried by both pigs and people in southern China--and can be transferred from one strain of bacteria to another, The Guardian reported, citing the journal Lancet Infectious Diseases. China is one of the world’s largest producers and users of colistin for agricultural and veterinary use, stoking greater resistance. “Although resistance to this important and widely used polymyxin group of antibiotics has previously been shown, it was generally caused by mutation in individual organisms,” said Nigel Brown, president of the Microbiology Society.

Summer equities bailout leaves “national team” holding 6% of stock market

Citic Securities admits to vastly overstating April-Sept equity swaps

Security ministry admits most of world’s synthetic drugs made in China

China’s “national team” of state financial institutions, corralled into purchasing shares to stem this summer’s equities rout, ended up collectively owning at least 6% of the mainland stock market, The Financial Times reported, citing data from Wind Financial. The figures, compiled from quarterly financial statements disclosing listed firms’ ten largest shareholders, likely underestimate the national team’s actual holdings. The government cash infusion came after the Shanghai Composite index fell more than 40% from its seven-year high on June 12 till late August. Goldman Sachs estimated in September that the government had spent RMB1.5 trillion (US$234 billion) to support the market in July and August.

Mainland brokerage Citic Securities admitted to incorrect reporting that resulted in overstating total equity swap transactions between April and September during the height of China’s stock market volatility, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing an emailed statement from the company.

The statement came after the Securities Association of China claimed it had in October discovered a “massive error” in regulatory filings on swaps by Citic that overstated the figure for the April-September period as RMB1.063 trillion (US$166.46 billion), or 26 times its actual size of around RMB40 billion. Citic cited computer “system upgrades” as the reason for the incorrect reporting.

China’s Ministry of Public Security acknowledged that most synthetic drugs sold worldwide are made in China, Caixin reported, citing a statement from ministry officials. The US Drug Enforcement Administration said in March it arrested a Chinese citizen named Tian Haijun when he arrived in America. He was accused of shipping tons of synthetic drugs into the United States from China. Zhao Zhongchen, the director of the Drug Control Bureau, said the China Food and Drug Administration imposed new controls covering 116 new psychoactive substances in October. However, he admitted the use of the Internet to handle transactions made law enforcement difficult.

China’s big data dreams may be in for a rude awakening

T

he sales pitch was slick, to be sure: Unmatched situational awareness, even to the point of outbreak prevention. Search queries from across the country would flag the early spread of influenza better even than official government forecasts, helping medical workers more effectively focus their efforts to halt an embryonic epidemic.

The company: Google. The project: Google Flu Trends. The prognosis: terminal—discontinued in 2014 after having vastly over-projected outbreaks for eleven months running. But not before Baidu had a chance to come up with its own take on the idea.

The signal was clear: Big data had come to China in a big way, and with it the attendant belief that the current era of information inundation will solve all of society’s woes by revealing the hidden trends beneath our noses one data point at a time. Party officials endorse it; tech blogs constantly cover it; businesses can’t get enough of it.

But there is also a serious gap in understanding: Businesses are now well-versed in the the futuristic potential of big data, while experienced statisticians are all-too-familiar with its present-day limitations. But how else to attract investor funding? The outcome is a business mindset that demands the unending harvest of everything that might one day prove useful on the assumption that it will be—without stopping to consider the consequences.

“Big data doesn’t mean the data is accurate,” said Philip Yu, co-author of multiple books on data analysis and an associate professor at Hong Kong University’s Department of Statistics and

Actuarial Science. But try telling that to Baidu, Alibaba or Tencent.

Analog to digital By and large, the business world understands big data as defined by a widely referenced report published by McKinsey in 2011: “datasets whose size is beyond the ability of typical database software tools to capture, store, manage, and analyze.”

As with much discussion of big data, popular doesn’t mean precise, or even useful. Yu preferred to focus on big data’s lack of clear purpose: Where traditionally data might be collected through a survey designed with some objective in mind, big data is hoovered up en masse to be sorted through later.

So much more data also means greater potential to confuse correlation with causation—mistaking coincidental patterns for meaningful trends.

Photos, Yu said, were an apt metaphor for the big data phenomenon, as the switch from film to digital brought the price of a picture down so low that now dozens are snapped of even trivial events, often preserving the redundant or unimportant. And surely there is no greater store of photos or redundant and unimportant information than the Internet, which is itself continually being mapped and analyzed by the original big data outfits: Search engines.

Yet while Baidu’s success in parsing China’s walled-off corner of the net is well-known, Yu bemoaned a ongoing rarity of strong all-around data scientists with the necessary knowledge of math, statistics and computer science required to navigate the field, much less the business acumen to know when to say no in the face of big figures.

Buy diapers, get credit

Significant digits Perhaps none of China’s internet business behemoths is more apt to trumpet the importance - or revenue-generating potential - of its data than Alibaba and its myriad affiliates and subsidiaries. To herald the launch of a startup incubator in October, founder and chief executive Jack Ma declared that data “will become the biggest production material in the future, it will become a public resource like water, electricity and oil.”

Never mind that the spot price for crude oil tumbled that same day to just US$48.25, down more than 44% from a year before due to a price collapse brought on by severe overcapacity engendered by wild optimism about future projected demand. The fact remains that money is flowing to big data on the basis of such prophecies.

The China Academy of Information and Communication Technology, a government think-tank, estimated in September that annual spending on big data-related services, software and

22

China Economic Review | December 2015

hardware would reach RMB11.59 billion (US$1.814 billion) this year. A large chunk of that will come from Alibaba, which in May of this year became the fourth-largest hosting company in the world and the largest in China, according to UK-based Internet research and services company Netcraft.

That money has translated to greater processing power in the big data arms race: In November Aliyun, Alibaba’s cloud computing arm, won the prestigious GraySort benchmark competition by using 17 times more servers than the likes of Google and Microsoft to sort 100 terabytes of data in six-and-a-half minutes, 3.6 times faster than said competition.

For all that processing power, however, the company has struggled to spin gold from the straw of its e-commerce operations’ user data, even for a muchhyped credit score service meant to give users of its payment platform loans on the cheap.

Multiple sociological studies indicate that a person is more likely to default if their friends and family have defaulted—hence the hype that accompanied Facebook’s purchase of a patent for the use of social networks in credit ratings, and the drive in China use digital personal networks as the basis for an alternative to the kind of credit score most on the mainland currently lack.

Alibaba was first out of the gate this year in March when it began offering a credit rating service through subsidiary Sesame Credit Management. Echoing the above-mentioned studies, Sesame’s director of business development, Deng Yiming, told Caixin that users would score higher based on the ratings of the people with whom they had money transfers.

Technology director Li Yingyun added that shopping habits and lifestyle also played a role: “Someone who plays video games for 10 hours a day, for example, would be considered an idle person, and someone who frequently buys diapers would be considered as probably a parent, who on balance is more likely to have a sense of responsibility.”

Ostensibly this all makes it a little easier for the little guy in China to get a loan. But the problems with this kind of credit calculus are easy to envision.

Scholars in the US have pointed out that even if online social networks didn’t often differ from actual relationship networks cited in studies, social credit evaluation could end up perpetuating the socioeconomic status quo by placing poorer communities at a substantial disadvantage. Unless, of course, they game the system.

“People are savvy. As soon as they

realize a certain metric is being used, they can adjust,” said Larry Salibra, software engineer and founder of the south China-based software glitchdetection services firm Pay4Bugs.

Indeed, regularly purchasing diapers in bulk as an expectant mother might could well push the score of a young single male above the threshold for nifty benefits offered by Sesame Credit to high-scoring users, like booking a hotel room without a cash deposit.

But with Alibaba so quick to monetize its data, the firm is introducing users to the idea of their behavioral statistics being used for profitable ends far more quickly than has been the case in other markets—with the exception, perhaps, of targeted advertising.

Diminishing returns The efficacy of online advertising has drawn greater global attention in recent years as methods of abuse and resulting countermeasures have grown more elaborate. Entire armies of unwilling computers are regularly infected by viruses whose sole purpose is to conscript more CPUs to click on targeted ads, all to meet “click-through” quotas.

Salibra noted that while this problem is far from unique to China, so-called botnets are particularly easy to find on the mainland—“anything’s available on Taobao,” he said, half in jest.

Hence the appeal of going through Tencent’s social network and online services app WeChat—a captive audience with plenty of ready intel that companies can use to tailor their content for a surgical strike on consumers’ wallets.

If only. As explained in a white paper from WeChat consulting services firm WalktheChat, the top options available

to advertisers on Tencent’s showcase service are ineffective, expensive or both.

Less expensive adverts delivered through large public-facing accounts amount to “a poorly targeted platform with average prices, low visibility and low conversion rate,” in WalktheChat’s words (meaning few resulting purchases).

The other option is shelling out far more for expensive “Moments” ads that show up in large numbers of user feeds, regardless of what or whom they follow on the platform. Attempts to use this option have thus far met with visceral backlash—though perhaps not in the way one might expect.

When Coke and BMW became among the first firms to take out Moments ads in January, user reactions ranged from annoyed to outraged. In contrast to privacy minded

Facebookers, WeChat users were most vocally upset over not being targeted for a BMW ad. After all, being served a Coke ad implied users were low-income nobodies by comparison.

The only effective option may be paying influential WeChat users - “Key Opinion Leaders” - to run ads in their feeds or even directly plug products, the cost of which WalktheChat estimated could range from RMB5,000-50,000.

But even here fake KOL accounts are common, able to masquerade as the real deal by stealing content from other accounts and buying botnets to supply the clicks needed to drive up each post’s view count.

The consulting firm pointed to plenty of reason for advertisers to cheat: “If your marketing manager’s bonus is indexed on the number of new followers he or she gets to your account

with a super-tight budget, there is clear incentive for misbehaving.”

Inputs and outputs In short, said Hong Kong Unversity’s Yu, and despite the size-centric moniker, big data success is not chiefly a matter of quantity.

“The quality of the data, how accurate, reliable it is. This is the important thing,” Yu said, adding that HKU had gone so far as to start a program specifically to address the industry’s shortage of well-rounded talent in greater China.

Yu-Xi Chau, a freelance statistician and recent PhD graduate in complexity science, pointed to the need for advances in artificial intelligence, “the ability for machines to have insights that humans cannot fully understand.” That has been the chief focus of Baidu’s big data initiative, which in 2014 trumpeted its own success in predicting the winner of every match of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. But football is a far cry from the complexities of epidemiology. Baidu’s Google-inspired influenza forecasting project also speaks to another major drawback of big data: Corporate secrecy that keeps independent third parties from vetting firms’ underlying algorithms.

That is by no means the sole domain of China. But for all of its flaws, Google Flu Trends provided historical data that reached back to its launch, allowing scientists to track just how far afield its predictions eventually fell. Baidu’s forecasting service is still online, but only provides users with forecasting records from the last 30 days.

Whether that relationship is causal or simply correlation is impossible to say—at least without more data.

The Era of Big Data Alex Wong, President of SPACE Asset Management Group, talks about industry development driven by “Internet+”

I

n recent years, “Internet+” has permeated all walks of life. Internet+Agriculture has given birth to agriculture branding; Internet+Finance promotes the development of financial service platforms; Internet+Medical fosters new medical community modes represented by real-time interaction. It is safe to say that the Internet has overturned many traditional business modes, changed distribution channels for products and transformed consumer behavior fundamentally.

As a full service chain business in China’s commercial real estate sector, SPACE is playing a positive role on the industry’s frontier with innovative visions and practices. Depending on acute market insight and enriched creative ideas, SPACE has continually expanded its business in the Big Data Era by artfully integrating the Internet with its own resources. In addition to business, it has extended into various other fields such as culture, technology and education, arming the Group with inexhaustible vitality in the Internet Age. “The Big Date Era has overturned traditional business mode and also brought many new opportunities,” said Alex Wong, President of SPACE. From his perspective, as a result of the impact of the Internet’s development and e-business, the transformation of commercial real estate has become a trend.

“In project operation and promotion, it is necessary to possess Internet

vision, explore optimization and update marketing modes, realizing business appreciation through value marketing,” he added.

In recent years, SPACE has been conducting online-offline promotions and operations to promote different projects. In July this year, to prepare for the “Summer Carnival” at Shanghai Touch Mall (Baoshan branch), SPACE made use of the “Intelligent Digital Mall” for a one-week directional themed promotion, delivering messages to millions of WeChat users and acquiring hundreds of thousands of clicks. It then made marketing plans according to the collected big data and successfully met the demand of targeted group.

During 2015 CTXD World Music Festival (Wuhan stop), SPACE carried out a series of “WeChat Shake Shakes” activities on the spot, actively interacting with participants and increasing the sales of the mall.

“I greatly stress the company’s advancement in the Internet and Internet business applications,” Alex Wong said. “SPACE has accumulated much practical experience in this field and has developed a diverse array of replicable products which are accessible both online and offline.”

SPACE possesses many creative brands including widely-applicable business activity modes and theme pavilions such as popupspace (animation exhibition and sales mode), ecospace (education and sports experience pavilion), o2ospace (animation theme pavilion), elecspace (automatic vending and exchange system of animation products), and spacemirai.com (online-offline electronic platform of animation industry), etc.

These self-owned brands and products of diverse forms cover different fields and demonstrate globally advanced business visions, creating unique a character for different projects.

“Based on SPACE inherent resources, we launched o2ospace Mall, combing online and offline promotions to help developers create competitive and characteristic business programs.

We provide all-round services including planning, investment attraction, designing and operating management to optimize project value increments for developers,” Alex Wong said, adding that SPACE hopes to realize value increment optimization through transforming the big data it collected into effective

data that has guiding significance via integration of online and offline media promotions, application of Internet technology and development of its own electronic platform Spacemirai.com.

The key to commercial real estate operations in the future will lie in experience and differentiation. It is necessary to continue to explore the way to create smart business projects that aim at creation and are supported by sci-

ence and technology. “We will cast our eyes to a broader spectrum, not only the animation field, but also the wellbeing industry, which draws increasing attention, and education and sports onlineoffline industrial platform, which own large room for development,” he said.

Surely, the real value of the Internet rests in the combination of it with traditional industry, which brings substantial changes to the latter. Mr. Alex

Wong says he keeps a close eye on the development of Internet technology and upcoming effects. He also constantly looks for ways to combine the Internet with other industries to realize more breakthroughs and innovations, and drive the integration and advancement of Internet+culture, innovation, science and technology and business generally.

Historical perspective on China’s property market

V

ery often, at some recent social gatherings, friends of mine have approached me and raises Dr. Kenny C.Y. SIU questions about the property market, expecting me to revert with some insider opinion.

Instead of throwing back some casual and off-the-cuff comments, I would prefer to spend more time studying the perspectives of history as it impacts on their questions.

First of all, I will ask myself a question: Is the China economy in the com-

36

China Economic Review | December 2015

ing two to three decades on the rise or in decline? It is only worth investing in a country’s property market if the overall economy is on the rise. China and Japan, for example, are two countries with economies going in opposite directions. For China, the economy has seen continuous and steady growth since Deng’s visit to the south in the early 1990s; Japan has been on a deep-rooted downtrend since the bubble burst in the early 1990s and is sadly still lost.

Obviously, any time during this period, the return from property investments in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and

Shenzhen must have been lucrative.

Needless to say, the investment funds would have vanished if we had made the same move in Japan. It is always easy to walk with the wind but not against. As Jack Ma says: “Pigs will fly high when the wind is strong.”

In the long history of China, with its population size and economic potential, occupying 30% of global GDP is normal and reasonable. The figure of 1-2% in the late Qing is abnormal in any sense. The latest figure of 14% for 2014 means there is still huge room for growth.

CULTURE MAP

HONG KONG – it’s role and importance in the future If you have faith in the future of China, you have to select your city to invest in.

Like the stock market, the most currently popular names are those like Tencent (00700), Construction Bank (00939), as opposed to HSBC (00005) and SHK property (00016) in the past.

The same rule applies to the property market - Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong are on top of the list. Counting back thousands of years in history, it was Chang’an (now Xian), Luoyang, Yangzhou, Nanjing.

Time is ruthless; those cities faded as time passed and now rank as secondtier. So goes HSBC and SHK Property in the stock market game.

I was born in Hong Kong and therefore have a special emotion tie with the city, though still, I am saddened to have to predict that in longer run, Hong Kong will become a second-tier city. When you scrutinize the Hong Kong stocks and the Chinesebased stock composition in overall transactions, you will understand what I am saying. Starting from the end of 2013, the daily stock transaction of state-owned enterprises accounted for more than 40 percent of HS futures, and the figure is still on the rise. Somehow, the importance of Hong Kong is declining.

Yokohama, once the most prosperous city during Japan’s times of seclusion, was replaced by Tokyo and Osaka once the nation was opened up. My personal view is that Shanghai will one day overtake Hong Kong and becoming the center of China’s stock trading – a role as important as New York in United States. Hong Kong will become a Chicago and take a second role.

Decades of Good Time left Given its excellent infrastructure and all other advantages, Hong Kong, though on the way down, can still enjoy some decades of taking the leading role, before stepping into “the best of the second-tiers”.

No matter now or back in history, a disparity between the rich and poor is inevitable. Du Fu wrote, “The poor scholars will be cheered when they have their mansions.” The Book of Han says, “The fields owned by the rich cover miles upon miles; the poor don’t have a place to live.” It is an undisputable fact that life in big cities must be expensive and difficult.

With basic agreement that the China economy is booming and once you have your cities chosen, it is never an issue

about when to make the real purchase.

Changes in price within a 20-30 percent range, for a real long-term capital investment that lasts for almost 20-30 years, mean nothing, especially you are expecting a yield at double, triple or even more.

Aim at the watermelon, not its seeds.

My humble advice to the younger generation - if conditions allow, you must have your own place to live. You never know what runs faster - your salary growth or the property market. It is a gamble if you do not have your own place for shelter.

从历史看中国楼市 文 | 邵志尧博士

问题，笔者希望从历史的角度去思考出一个 比较宏观的答案，会较微观地去看问题。 首先，我会考虑中国在未来二十至三 十年，经济是总体往上行还是往下行。任 何一个国家，它的经济往上行，房地产才 值得投资，否则，怎样也不值得投资。举 最简单的例子，中国和日本是两个恰恰相 反的国家，一个从邓小平南巡以后，经济 一路往上长，而日本在九十年代初经济泡 沫爆破以后，经济一直往下跌，到现在仍 在迷失之中。很明显在这段时期，任何时

Dragons in diamond village Q&A: David Bandurski on China’s urban villages and the outlook for urbanization

D

avid Bandurski is best known for his work at the University of Hong Kong’s China Media Project, where he breaks down developing trends in both state and commercial publications. That makes his new book following the struggles of a village attempting to fend off the encroaching city of Guangzhou a departure from his typical wheelhouse—abeit a welcome one. China Economic Review recently spoke to Bandurski about the decadelong story behind his book, the uniquely Chinese phenomenon of urban villages and the difficulties faced by all sides in China’s ongoing drive toward urbanization.

China Economic Review | December 2015

I’ve seen plenty of books that concern China’s urbanization, but few have gone into much detail about urban villages other than to address them at an abstract level in terms of hukou (registered residence) status and land rights categories. What prompted you to take on the topic at book length?

You’re absolutely right, if you look for info on urban villages in china you’ll be taken to not actually practicing urban planners, but urban planners in an academic setting, looking at the issue of planning urban spaces in an abstract way; you’ll find architects

writing about urban villages, and this sort of thing. But I was very interested when I discovered them for myself back in early 2005. I was here in Hong Kong and saw images of them [while] watching a documentary on them and started reading about them. The term was new to me, ‘chengzhongcun’ (城中村), literally ‘villages within the city’.

The more I read, the more I thought, wow, this is really fascinating these are pockets of rural china in the middle of China’s biggest booming cities. And they’re real rural spaces, so they’re very unique, and as you said I hadn’t really seen a lot of writing about them and the

ECONOMY

social issues that sort of congregate in these spaces.

So that’s really what prompted it. I thought I had found—and I still think this—sort of the secret ingredient of China’s urbanization. And what I mean by that is: We know when we talk about urbanization we’re referring to people—human beings—moving from rural lives in rural settings to urban lives in urban environments. That’s what urbanization means. But of course in China we’re always hearing about the floating population, the migrant workers in China’s cities.

We know that by 2050 over a quarter of a billion people will enter China’s cities, but will they become urban residents? Will they have hukou? We’ve heard some of the institutional and economic aspects of this story of urbanization and we have to ask, ‘is this a real urbanization? Are these people becoming real urban residents?’ And the answer, in a way, is no.

This is why we call them floating, it’s a term in Chinese (流动人口). They’re floating because they never arrive in the city, and by that I mean the city that’s built for them, [those] that the leaders build as prestige cities. When we think of Shanghai and Pudong, and we think of Guangzhou and the central business district, these urban spaces are not built for the vast majority of people who are really the whole phenomenon of urbanization in China. Where do they live?

The first answer is factory dorms.

But that’s just a small portion of where migrants live, because think about it: You’re a migrant worker in your late 20s, and you’re in a segregated dorm?

How are you going to get married, how are you going to have children, how are you going to have a sustainable life in

the city? You need a space, you need a room within the city that is your own, outside of the factory. And that is the urban village. And they’re everywhere.

They’re not just in Shenzhen or Guangzhou. The Pearl River Delta has a great number of them because of the migrant waves, but [the urban village] is really the answer to the question, ‘Where are they?’ And it’s one that, as you’ve said, no one’s really looked at in-depth. So that’s what really fascinated me about the space of the urban villages, and that’s why I chose them as places to report stories, rather than the topic—because I’m not really focused on the topic of urbanization per se, as much as stories about land, etc. happening in the urban villages.

How did you end up settling on Xian Village as your narrative focal point?

It was a long process because in the past I’ve done very topical books, like Investigative Journalism in China, where you think of maybe eight or ten chapters and you divide them up into stories and issues. So I had a lot of stories I was working on including about migrants, and some of them are not in the book.

Most of the ones focused on migrant workers in the villages did not become the focus although I have those stories.

It was quite late in the process, around 2011, ‘12 when I went back— and Xian Village had always been one of my favorite urban villages to go and eat in, and walk around and explore, and I discovered to my surprise and dismay that the village had been surrounded by this huge containing wall.

It looked to me like this place was going to be demolished in six months, so my thought was: Let’s write a history of a

disappearing village in the middle of this city. You know, what an opportunity to go back and talk to the old villagers about the history and the transformation and the disappearance of this place.

No one wanted to talk about history.

Everyone wanted to talk about corruption, land politics, and to the extent that I could see history and culture it was playing into the rights defense movement, it was playing into the politics of resistance. So the title of the book, “Dragons in Diamond Village”, is a reference to the use of the dragon boat parade, an ancient ritual in this area, to gather resistance against the corrupt village leaders. So the question of whether the boats will return to the village—because they weren’t allowed to race—is the question of where the story is going in terms of land and corruption, heritage, everything.

So in that sense I have to say, I defend my use of “dragons” in the title.

Mine is one of a very few over the last decade that deserved dragons in the title. It’s a very local reference, it’s not a colonialist appropriation of Chinese symbology or something like that. The symbolism is not mine, it’s the villagers’.

You mentioned how everything sort of came back to the corruption, the land politics... to what extent does urban development and redevelopment still rely on official corruption? Your description of the concentration of power in the hands of one village overlord in particular struck me as more than a little similar to the kind you see on a national scale.

It’s Identical. As I was investigating Xian village’s corruption issues—

China Economic Review | December 2015

43

ECONOMY

level as well. Xi Jinping has talked about tigers and flies, and I think the issue of the flies, of smaller corruption, is much more key to political stability and the success of anti-corruption, etc., because the corrpution of these low-level officials—village and county officials— affect Chinese on a much more direct level than say, Zhou Yongkang or Bo Xilai, these kinds of cases.

And in my experiences reporting this book and going back now, very little is being done. Villagers are facing the same situation now that they were three years ago, four years ago when I was in the thick of it. There’s still no accountability for village officials, and they have basically a blank check to do these land deals—and they’re working with district officials and city officials.

From your descriptions of Guangzhou’s urban villages they sounded a little taller, if not denser, than the ones I’d seen walking around inside Beijing’s Third Ring Road. I know your book is centered on the Pearl River Delta, but I was wondering if you’d noticed regional differences in how urban villages form. and this involves Poly Group of course, which had a princeling running it—I had a sense that China is a village. There’s a small group of officials, princelings, call them what you will, hongerdai, second-generation reds, fuerdai, the sons and daughters of the rich, and they’re a very small number of people. In the same sense that a village has two or three thousand members, so does the extreme elite that actually controls most of the wealth, much of it invested in land, across China.

44

China Economic Review | December 2015

So it’s no accident that many of the stories in my book... probably all of them indirectly or actually quite directly, interests that are national. So you have Poly Group which was up to 2010 run by the son-in-law of Deng Xiaoping, so that’s about as senior as they get, they’re very involved in a lot of projects in Guangzhou, and they’re the ones who’ll redevelop the village. And it’s still in the air, what’s going to happen...

And certainly I was really interested in looking at corruption at the local

Absolutely. I was also in Zhengzhou, and Changsha was another—in Changsha I found the urban villages quite similar [to those of Guangzhou], and of course we’re in the South still. A lot of it has to do with the economies in various areas. Of course the Pearl River Delta was developing earlier: It’s relying very much on manufacturing, even having a lot of small sweat shop operations that are on village land. So these villages are not just residential. They have collective properties - so they might have shoe

ECONOMY

factories, or parts factories, that kind of thing - where they’re attracting laborers who are living in the tenement housing, but they’re also working nearby.

What you see in Beijing, you’re absolutely right, you tend to have a lot of Henan migrants who are doing, for example, recycling. So these spaces, the zhaijidi 宅基地 or residential areas are also used as warehousing areas. I spent a lot of time in a village called Trash Village, Lajicun 垃圾村, up in an area called Dongxiaokou 东小口. And these were all Henan migrants, they were living there in little hovels, but they were one-story, and they were using land next-door, renting it out to store wiring (they’d strip the copper out) or plastics, and they would basically run recycling enterprises. They can still be quite dense, so you can still have twenty, thirty thousand migrants living in a small village, but they’re not as built-up as the villages in the South.

But you see this dynamic absolutely everywhere. I think it doesn’t really matter where you are: On the outskirts of the city, sometimes closer in to the main development area, you’ll see these rural spaces that are being used to support a grey economy, and it’s a matter of what kind of economic activity you’re looking at... Sometimes you have to be creative and know where to look for them. They’re actually hiding, often behind new, prestige architecture and that sort of thing.

So what determines the resilience or vulnerability of an urban village? Why do some hold out longer than others?

In the case of Guangzhou, for example, some of the major factors are the villagers themselves and how united they are—so if they have a strong sense of community, if the leadership is more collective. In some cases they don’t real-

ly have the emergence of a dictator, if you will; in the case of Xian village it has a sort of local tyrant, and you see this in a lot of villages where they have immense power and develop these connections with other local leaders. But if villagers stick together they have a better opportunity to resist the regeneration plans of the city or to make their own demands about how the process is done.

And you have villages like Shipai 石牌, very close to Xian village in Guangzhou, which is untouched and will probably remain untouched for the foreseeable future because it’s in a major urban area and if they try to move on the village it will get nasty.

And this is the thing, Chinese leaders very risk averse and so the villagers, if they’re doing rights defense they know this—well every rights defender knows this, right? It’s a tactic: you make lots of noise, you attract a lot of atten-

China Economic Review | December 2015

45

ECONOMY

tion, and [leaders] tend to be more cautious in dealing with you, and they might negotiate with you. You see this again and again in my book, this tactic of rights defense.

So that really decides it, and in some areas the governments may be more aggressive in dealing with land seizure, because again they’re not under so much scrutiny as you would be in a major city. It’s a real problem [for leaders] in a city like Guangzhou, or Beijing, you have a concentration of media as well in these areas. So it’s mostly about scrutiny and the local community and how united they are.

A little over a year ago CER looked into the State Council’s announcement that it was going to abolish the rural-urban distinction for hukou. Has that had much effect at all for the people you’ve been talking to?

I think the problem is a really difficult issue, and I think with China having dealt with the one-child policy now, down the road I think the hukou system is going to be something they’ll have to deal with. But in many ways we’re past the point where changing hukou status will mean a areal substantive change for people’s lives because they need to have programs to actually provide the infrastructure, for example, for social programs, whether it’s healthcare, or education—and a lot of things are being provided in the cities informally, and again, in urban villages.

When I was in Beijing I was reporting on migrant schools, and migrant schools—illegal schools run by migrants, for migrants—are concen-

46

China Economic Review | December 2015

trated in the urban villages. So if you go to Dongxiaokou where I was, that’s where you’ll find them.

So you have to provide the services for the people that are in the cities, and the cities don’t want to do this on their own. They’re waiting for someone else to jump first. It’s a real problem. Because you look at an area like [the one] outside Shenzhen, and you have hundreds of thousands of workers, many of them living in villages, not factory dorms. And if you consider their interests - if they were voters, for example - they would want to have their children there, and they would say: ‘We need more schools, we need more classrooms, we need more teachers.’

But [migrants] are not calculated in the local mathematics for social benefits.

The schools that are built locally are for local residents with hukou.

So really you can talk about changing an ID card, but really the big question is about social benefits.... Li Keqiang, the premier - although he’s saying it less now, I think it’s too difficult an issue - but he’s talked about ‘human urbanization’. This is the new term, and this is an acknowledgement that urbanization over the last two decades has focused on urban development, building physical cities, and it’s ignored, more or less, the human beings that are really what urbanization is all about.

ECONOMY

tion between these two worlds in the cities. So the local villagers see themselves as one caste in a way; and then the migrant workers are just kind of coming through and they’re not really local and they’re not really accepted; and then you have the urban residents with hukou. So there’s going to be a lot of resistance when they start to talk about specific changes, and maybe a lot of resentment too against the migrant population.

That seems to track with what we’d concluded in the piece, though it’s not exactly the kind of confirmation you’re overjoyed to get.

And this has to change. You have to have urban environments that take into account the urban population. So we know they’re thinking about this and they recognize that there’s a real schism, but solving it is going to be really difficult. I’m not the policy guy on hukou, and I wouldn’t want to be. It’s a nightmare.

Another issue is going to be local identity. In my book I’m focusing on the local-rural—I’m focusing on the villagers whose homes are in Guangzhou, whose villages have been there for a thousand years, who see themselves as the real locals; and I don’t really look at the migrants so much.

But there’s always a little bit of fric-

Then another issue is going to be housing—and I’m kind of posing another question for you here because I saw recently you guys had written about the residential property glut, and the figures for residential housing, which is a really interesting issue. But I’ve always been fascinated by the fact that there’s essentially two markets in China, and the urban village is a separate grey real estate market, and the one that has been fulfilling this demand represented by migrant workers in the city.

What we call the housing market in China in most cases is not even a real hosuing market. It is so far over the heads of the new urbanites, the migrant workers that it’s hopeless! And so you think: How are they going to deal with this? Is the formal real estate market going to correct to take into account the grey market, in which case we’d see a dramatic drop in prices; or are they going to try to get through this period with subsidized low-income housing?

Right now there’s talk about low-

income housing, but think about Shenzhen! It’s hard to get hard statistics, but if you have a city with say 12 milllion people, and you have 2 million who have urban hukou and probably own real estate, and then you have another 10 million who are various kinds of migrants, some may have college degrees, some may not, etc.—but you could be talking four or five million people who are living (and this is probably conservative) in an urban village environment. They’re living in gray housing economy.

If you were to build low-income housing for those five million people, can you imagine how much that would cost? And how much room it would take? I mean Hong Kong is talking about building some more of this housing over the next ten years, and it’s a total headache. It’s nothing close to [Shenzhen]... So I think about this problem and, as I say in the intro: Are you going to build a new Singapore to house this population?

So how to house urban China is a real problem, but we kind of ignore it in the economics. They get very simplistic.

You’ll hear a banker say, ‘Well China’s got 250 million new people going to the cities in the next half-century, there’s unlimited demand into the future for housing.’ And the basic math sounds right, but the problem is that the real estate prices already are so high that in many cases a migrant worker is talking about 200 years of gross income to even afford an apartment of any size on the outskirts of the city. So I think this is a big issue for the long term for the cities, and this is why they’re pushing reverse migration, they’re hoping they can get cities in inland China

China Economic Review | December 2015

ECONOMY

to develop, and the maybe some of the migrant populations will move back into these areas. So that’s been another sort of push.

Having looked into that a bit, it didn’t seem to me as if the ‘if you build it they will come’ model was actually drawing a lot of people away from the coast.

No, and that was my experience going to Henan. The people would say ‘Ok, but the jobs are in Beijing, the opportunities are in Beijing.’ You saw it everywhere in Henan. They’re building little county towns and things like that, and there are slogans like ‘Returning to your home and rebuilding your hometown is glorious,’ that kind of thing. You’d see it on an empty street, a brand-new, beautiful empty street with these banners slung over the street.

And I’m not sure. I’d have to do a lot more studying to see what the trends are. People talk about ghost cities, and those are kind of a different phenomenon. Some of the ghost cities are waiting for people to come, yes it’s true, but it may in some ways be overblown, but the low occupancy in China’s major cities is a major issue, I think. The way housing is predominantly investment and not really for living, those are issues.

We’re getting into a lot of topical stuff, and my book isn’t so topically focused. So anyone looking for the answers to all these questions wouldn’t read my book so much. But I think urban villages, in a way they symbolize this whole set of issues: The hukou system, the housing market, rural-vs-urban, the rights of rural people, the emergence of the citizen— because you have rights defense actions

48

China Economic Review | December 2015

where they’re calling for rule of law, and they’re calling for more transparency and more involvement. So that’s what interested me about them, is really that urban villages if you look at them you can see so many of the problems that face not just China’s urbanization but its longer term development. And very few people have ever even heard of them. So they’re really kind of cool places I think.

Speaking of property mismatch and the real estate market, one of the things I’ve seen mooted as a potential short- to mid-term source of relief for China’s real estate industry is urban redevelopment. So I do wonder whether we’ll see an intensified campaign to clear out urban villages as they become more attractive candidates for that.

We already have in Guangzhou, obviously. There’s 138 in the main city and a lot more outside, and for years, ever since I’ve been looking at this, ten years they’ve been talking about plans to redevelop all of these. And they designated ten or so of these ahead of

the Asian Games of 2010, and it’s not happened. And one of the important reasons is the local history, heritage, culture and the sense of political entitlement. These villagers want to protect their rights. These are their homes, it’s their livelihood, it’s their future, and they want a say in that future.

So you can talk about redeveloping them, and you think it’s maybe just an architectural issue or a city planning issue. But it’s a much bigger issue than that. And they’ve already found this in Guangzhou, and it’s proven almost impossible to redevelop these villages without trouble. And again, they run into the problem that they’re not interested in redeveloping it for a kind of intelligent, holistic urban planning, a human urbanization. They’re only interested in the real estate bank, they’re only interested in the money that the city gets and that the developers get.

Because as soon as it’s redeveloped it becomes high-end real estate that only usually hukou-bearing investors, many of them also probably government officials, but the wealth, the super wealthy can afford to buy.

And then in the case of Guangzhou you’ll have anywhere from thirty to fifty, sixty-thousand migrant workers that’ll move out to another village on the outskirts. So they’ve resolved none of the fundamental issues, all they’ve done is basically create a lucrative new building site to fuel this investment bubble. So they do get ‘civilized cities’ if you see ‘civilized cities’ as sort of not being about people, but as being about clean streets and shopping malls and whatnot. But they’re not really dealing with the fundamental issues; they’re basically kicking the can down the road.

Seeing past the smog Q&A: Jost Wübbeke on the economic challenges to China’s hazy climate change goals

W

ith China ranking as the world’s largest emitter of carbon dioxide - and in a position to potentially exhaust well over a third of the world’s carbon budget to mid-century by 2035 - its role in the Paris negotiations could prove crucial to mitigating catastrophic climate change. Hence the Mercator Institute for China Studies (MERICS) has released a new qualitative study scrutinizing China’s existing emissions pledges, as well as the implications of the country’s economic slowdown for its ability to keep them. China Economic Review spoke to co-author Jost Wübbeke about the institute’s findings

50

China Economic Review | December 2015

and his thoughts on the outlook for the Paris summit.

Part of your report is dedicated to laying out China’s carbon emissions targets, which turn out to be pretty vague because they’re based on the carbon intensity of economic growth. What’s the basic range there, and how does that compare to popular perceptions?

As you rightly said, these targets are quite ambiguous, they allow for ample space for future emissions because the carbon intensity is linked to economic growth. The more your economy is

growing, the more you will be allowed to emit, and you have a huge range for interpreting these targets.

It’s not a fixed target like absolute CO2 emissions: With an average annual growth of around 5%, China can emit much more CO2. It would probably reach 11 billion tons by 2030. If economic growth is only 3%, China would emit much less, probably only 8 billion tons by 2030.

This target is unclear about what will actually happen in the future, it cannot guarantee that China will really control its CO2 emissions. If you take the International Energy Agency’s 450 ppm scenario as a reference, you can say China

ECONOMY

would have to grow only around 4% for these targets to make a real contribution to climate change mitigation.

However, it is an open question whether China can really meet its intended targets. In our report, we argue that if the country faces increasing economic difficulties, these targets are likely to be watered down. I believe Beijing is very honest about reaching its targets at the moment, but one should be realistic and keep in mind that if China is really facing economic pressure and jobs are at stake, possibly leading to labor protests—under those circumstances policymakers would probably put the economy first and the environment second.

There’s been a lot of hubbub over China’s carbon emissions records this year. Can you sum up the key points for those who might not be up to date?

As you know, China is the largest CO2 emitter in terms of absolute emissions.

However, it is a tricky task to derive its real emissions, as with any other country. China’s CO2 emissions are indirectly calculated from primary energy consumption. It is always possible that the formula or data being used is not accurate.

That was actually the case when China had to revise its coal consumption data earlier this year. It came out that it consumed much more coal between 2000 and 2013 than was previously believed. We have to factor that into the calculations of CO2 emissions, which are now much higher due to the revised coal consumption data. But this does not ultimately change the general trend that China is consuming less coal.

And not even relatively speaking?

Even in absolute terms, 2014 was the first time since 2001 that China’s coal consumption did not increase year-onyear. This doesn’t change even if the data has now been revised. At the same time, other studies found that the carbon content of Chinese coal is lower than assumed in current CO2 calculations, suggesting that China has been emitting less CO2 than indicated by official data. In sum, we have a lot of uncertainty about what China’s real emissions are.

But it is still safe to say that China is the world’s largest CO2 emitter.

Yes, sure, but only in terms of absolute emissions. In per capita terms, China is emitting much less CO2. Compared to more than 18 tons per capita in the U.S. and around 10 tons in Germany, the average Chinese person generates only about 7 tons. However, the average per capita emission of CO2 is increasing in China.

What are the two “extreme” scenarios you discuss in the new report, and why do you ultimately conclude they’re unlikely?

The first scenario describes a backslide of China’s climate policy, where China returns to its previous path of relying on heavy industry, including the steel and cement industries, as well as investment in infrastructure and construction.

In the case of a major economic slowdown we can expect that emissions will initially decelerate, but what’s important is what happens next. It is quite likely that China will use investment in infrastructure and construction to create economic growth. These measures would result in greater demand for steel, cement, and other raw materials and increase CO2 emissions significantly.

At the same time, this scenario is rather unlikely because it has become rather difficult to create growth from infrastructure investment and construction. In addition, the ability of energy-intensive industries to generate new jobs in China is decreasing. On top of that China now has stronger environmental institutions, which can act as a stronghold against a serious backslide.

The other extreme scenario would be the very optimistic one of accelerated transition. Under this scenario, China would use the economic slowdown to boost its economic transition towards high-tech and service sectors, and establish environmental industries as a key pillar of the economy. This would help to reduce CO2 emissions tremendously.

However, this scenario is also an extreme case, because it’s rather risky for the Chinese government to vigorously push economic transition under these circumstances; it does not really know if these new industries like e-commerce or environmental technology will really create enough growth and jobs. Under such uncertainty,

China Economic Review | December 2015

51

ECONOMY

I’d say the Chinese government would rather not pin all of its hopes on these industries. We should not expect to see a stimulus mainly relying on lowcarbon measures.

You also outline a third scenario, labelled “delay”. What does that look like, and why do you consider it more likely?

It’s a combination of the other two.

In times of economic slowdown, it is quite probable that China will initially use traditional measures of facilitating growth—that is already visible in individual stimulus measures calling for more railway and housing construction. This will of course produce more demand for raw materials and also lead to an increase in CO2 emissions.

This could go on for some months or even years, but the Chinese government will see that these measures are running out of steam and are not as effective as before. The political leadership will gradually orient the country more towards high tech and environmental technologies, promoting economic transition. However, this process is being delayed by the economic

52

China Economic Review | December 2015

crisis and the many ad-hoc stimulus measures—the transition is coming later than expected. As a consequence, a sustained fall in China’s CO2 emissions will occur much later than we had previously hoped.

Until now, one could be quite optimistic about China’s climate policy.

Its economic policy and climate policy have been quite compatible with each other. But this could now fundamentally change if economic conditions worsen.

What determines the differences in your three scenarios?

Our basic assumption is that policy decisions fundamentally influence the direction of these scenarios. There are three major factors: First, the question is, how green is the government stimulus? In the 2008 stimulus package during the global financial crisis, around 70% of funds went into railway, highway and other construction projects. This was a rather “dirty” stimulus, though it included some energy efficiency measures.

The second factor is job creation.

You can see that there are still a lot of

jobs in heavy industries like steel and coal, manufacturing, and construction.

It’s quite hard to transfer these jobs to high-tech or environmental-tech industries. This will be a challenge, and there will be a lot of uncertainty about whether the government can really transfer these jobs from one sector to another, especially in the short term.

The third factor is the role of environmental policies and institutions.

The question is whether the environmental regulatory framework can in practice really prevent a backslide to a more heavily polluting economy and the relaxation of key environmental targets in the face of economic difficulties.

From your perspective, what are the most likely best- and worstcase scenarios for negotiations in Paris?

Paris is more about diplomacy than really solving the challenges of climate change. Everybody in this game, like China, Europe and the US, wants to avoid losing face and to ultimately have something to show for it. But with what we’ve seen so far I’m not very optimistic, because China’s goal aren’t so ambitious, and the US’s goals are not that impressive, either.

There is another question of whether this protocol and the emissions targets will be legally binding. If not, it will be very hard to ensure climate change mitigation. Right now, the world is in a critical situation. The impact of climate change is already visible, and 2015 will be the hottest year on record. If you really want to mitigate climate change, you’ll have to do more right now, not in ten years. But postponing climate efforts is what most countries are doing now, China in particular.

f you only looked at the price tags month to month, you might think China’s real estate industry was staging a comeback.

From June to September this year China saw average new home prices per square meter grow more rapidly by the month to end September up 0.2% from August—and down only 2.94% from the same period in 2014, a substantial improvement over June’s year-on-year fall of 5.87%. While prices in China’s top megacities grew far more than their lower-tier peers, those reporting month-on-month price growth also rose from 20 out of 70 monitored cities in May to double that number in

September, according to the latest data from the National Bureau of Statistics.

But September also marked a sixyear low for investment growth in real estate projects, notching another consecutive month of deceleration as sales growth tapered off, holding at 15.3% from the previous month in the face of a sustained and substantial glut of housing in addition to uncertain demand.

Indeed, by one measure housing demand in China may have already peaked in absolute terms, meaning that any recovery would entail first burning off the current surplus of homes so that developer inventories return to lower pre-surge levels. That means it’s up to

policymakers to decide how hard and fast that adjustment will be, after which strong underlying demand can step in to ensure more sustainable turnover.

But while some segments and sectors will see growth despite broader losses, industry observers and analysts aren’t expecting any gains in Beijing and Shanghai to lead a widespread rebound in property any time soon. Instead, it appears that the prospects of top-tier cities have detached from the rest of the national real estate market, where the outlook is far more grim.

“For non-first-tier cities I personally still have concerns that overstock remains a major issue,” said Carl-

by Xie, head of China research for global real estate consultancy Colliers International. “Especially in residential property markets.”

Investor impact That prices have recovered as much as they have in recent months can be attributed in part to a reversal of downpayment requirements introduced in 2011 and 2012 meant to cool down what regulators saw as a rapidly overheating market.

“Generally speaking, changes in interest rates and changes in the money supply through [banks’] reserve requirement ratio do not have that much effect on the housing market,” said Michael Cole, proprietor of China real estate news site Mingtiandi. “What has really had an impact has been home purchase restrictions that involve down payments.”

Those rules, known as home purchasing restrictions, didn’t forbid speculative buying, but made it a whole lot costlier for those who already owned a home. Authorities have backtracked on those restrictions twice this year: In March they lowered down payments for buyers of second homes in lower-tier cities from 60% to 40%.

Yet while gains in sales value have outpaced those of floor space volume sold for the year to date, according to figures from the National Bureau of Statistics, growth in both has been slowing of late. The latest available figures for September show gains for value holding at 15.3% year-on-year from the previous month’s reading, while gains in floor space sold eked up only 0.3%.

That stall might help explain why regulators lowered the down payment requirement yet again in September, from 30% to 20% for buyers without loans on their existing properties.

Such moves - and others lifting similar restrictions in first-tier cities - had given speculators the green light they were waiting for, Cole said. But the monthly numbers out of the statistics bureau seem to suggest that individual investors are looking at top-tier cities - which have also loosened home purchase restrictions - in order to get more bang for their buck.

Xie said that his company had identified a significant trend among cashrich Chinese investors refocusing their gaze on the real estate market, with some having sold off their existing additional top-tier assets in order to reinvest the proceeds.

In top tier cities, he said, ”individual investors are gradually taking more initiative, stronger interest in investing in upscale or high end luxury property sector instead of the mass market in order for them to gain stronger capital appreciation in the next round of the market cycle.”

As a result, the chief competition for retail investors’ money in cities like Beijing and Shanghai comes from offshore property, which can also offer a path to legal emigration and had until recently been from the home purchase restrictions that were lifted this year.

Gains in Shanghai have been so swift that on October 26, the city’s party boss announced plans to rein them in—though it’s unclear how, and state media subsequently reported new home sales surged last week by 20%.

Xie noted that based on transactions Colliers’ had observed there and in Beijing, “some buyers have purchased property in the high-end [segment] for less than two months—and they gained a 10% increase in capital value.”

Secondary concerns The secondary market likewise seems to indicate divergence in valuation between top-tier cities and those of lower rank.

Although the National Bureau of Statistics doesn’t publish figures on volume or sales for the second-hand home market, in mid-October a subsidiary of Beijing-based property services firm Guoxinda launched its own “China City Housing Index”, which purports to track both stats for 337 mainland cities using publicly available data scraped from the sites of more than 500 real estate agencies.

Of those cities, four are in Tier-1 and

ECONOMY

25 in Tier-2; another 83 rank at Tier 3, with a further 264 grouped together in Tier 4. Using online listings to discern real estate realities means that the index’s output is based on potentially questionable input, but in lieu of official data it provides the best available view of a market that is difficult to decipher at the best of times.

Prices, tracked since August of 2014, appear to reflect those of the primary market, with Tier-1 beginning to break away from the pack late last year and at last count having seen aggregate gains of over 10%. Meanwhile, Tier-2 cities have seen gradual price growth after reaching bottom in early in 2015. But improvement in the third and particularly fourth tiers have been short-lived, with the latter down close to 4% since records began.

One might expect sales volumes to show a similar dip, which Cole said would be a red flag. “A slow-down in transactions volumes for second-hand homes will show you that, even though prices might appear stable, that buyers are not motivated,” he said.

But the new index appears to show

just the opposite: While first-tier cities’ gains dominated for much of the year’s first half in terms of second-hand floorspace sold, third and especially fourth-tier volumes shot up suddenly in August and have yet to come down.

Thus, as prices drop, sales appear to be picking up in the least developed of China’s property markets. Yet if Guoxinda’s pricing statistics are to be believed, there seems little indication that price cuts so far and the resulting demand come anywhere close to what is needed to relieve the country’s real estate market of its tremendous glut in the short term.

Long hangover However much cadres in Shanghai might bloviate about a property bubble, the truth is that demand in the municipality will almost certainly remain strong for the foreseeable future, as it has in Hong Kong—and the alternative, now faced by many smaller cities in China, would be far worse.

The total unsold housing inventory on the mainland is hard to pin down because the definition of unsold

inventory only counts finished housing that is ready to be sold. In an April study the International Monetary Fund estimated year-end inventory for 2013 stood at about triple the official figure, and noted that in mid-2014 local data showed two years of inventory in contrast to national figures indicating just four months’ worth.

Rosalea Yao, a real estate analyst with research firm Gavekal Dragonomics, constructed a makeshift measurement of implied inventories based on the difference between cumulative housing starts and cumulative sales by developers. The resulting gap showed 34 months of sales (3 billion square meters) in 2014, set to decline to about 30 months’ worth this year.

Compared to a historical average of 22 months’ worth of unsold housing on developers’ books (just over the 20 months construction projects take from start to finish), that leaves eight months of inventory by Yao’s reckoning—overcapacity that she expect will take far longer to unload thanks to new project starts and completions expected in the interim.

But while inventories are coming down, Yao said she expected continued decline in construction through the first quarter of 2016, and said a rebound was unlikely next year thanks to the aggregate glut still weighing on smaller cities that needs to be burnt off. A faster adjustment - in which authorities let starts decline without much interference - could result in a cyclical rebound for construction in 2017 or 2018, though more intervention could delay that.

Still, Yao said, “I would continue to think that the faster adjustment should be the base case.”

State of expansion While state-owned enterprises have always been a presence in China’s real estate markets, it was only last year that one toppled privately-owned China Vanke to become the largest developer by sales. And according to a recent Deutsche Bank report on 36 major mainland property developers listed in Hong Kong and Shanghai, state-backed expansion hasn’t let up despite market turmoil.

56

China Economic Review | December 2015

According to the report, 10 key stateowned firms have attained faster market share growth than their private counterparts, with total market share up to 10.1% in the first nine months of this year from 8.8% in 2014, Deutsche Bank analysts Tony Tsang and Jason Ching said in the report, as cited by the South China Morning Post.

“In the past, industry consolidation in the China property market was mainly characterised by the listed developers taking market share from the unlisted developers,” Tsang and Ching wrote. But starting in 2014, “even among the listed developers, the stateowned developers are gaining market share, while most private developers (especially the small- to mid-caps) are no longer gaining market share, or are even losing share.”

Indeed, private developers including Dalian Wanda, Country Garden and Shimao Property recorded declines in market share during the period. Meanwhile, state players like China Overseas Land & Investment, Poly Real Estate Group and China Resources Land, Greentown China Holdings all gained

ground. The researchers expected the central government would debut more support policies to boost property sales in the year’s final quarter, with stateowned developers like those above tipped to benefit more than most.

Consumption-driven Yet the same drive to abandon heavy industry for consumption and servicesbased growth in China has also redrawn the map for the property sector, outlining a new landscape where gains still exist, but are unlikely to be so widely shared.

The most marked beneficiary is logistics real estate, where investment is ample and willing but opportunities are less obvious or subject to more geographical caveats. Interest began building in 2013 based on the recognition that if Chinese consumers were going to power the country’s economy, they’d need better logistical networks to deliver goods to them.

“Demand for modern logistics facilities in China is driven by long-term, structural trends in domestic consumption and the country’s need to replace

obsolete logistics facilities,” said Kent Yang, president of Global Logistic Properties China. Yang added that the firm’s new fund would begin purchasing land later this year and begin construction on new developments in April.

In July the Singapore-based developer of distribution centers closed funding for its second mainlandfocused investment fund with US$3.7 billion of equity commitments from itself and investors, enabling investment capacity of about US$7 billion, roughly twice its previous China fund. Since then it has leased a total of 283,000 square meters of warehouse space in China, a total area thet is roughly 30,000 square meters larger than the entirety of new floor space available in all of Shanghai last week.

Yang said claimed about 80% of existing logistics facilities in China were “obsolete and not in strategically significant locations,” but added that land supply had become more scares thanks to land reforms reducing the supply available for industrial facilities in large urban areas—exactly the kind of proximity logistics hubs need.

Collier’s Xie said that logistics property expansion would be more limited

in southern China, where large-scale properties were in short supply, and northern China, where land available for sale was also limited. But he favored Eastern China and the central cities of Wuhan and Chongqing for more distribution center developments going forward.

Downside’s upside The same forces driving expansion for logistics are also threatening brick-andmortar retail: In January major mainland property developer Dalian Wanda announced it would close or restructure 30 of its China retail venues, and in August indicated more more such changes were underway.

But none of these sectors are likely to pick up the slack left by the residential market. Yao, at Gavekal, pointed to one bright spot in social housing: With investment a national drive to redevelop slums in major cities underperforming this year, she suggested an uptick in government funds to the project could provide some relief in the near-term for the construction. “As long as this kind of construction will not increase the inventory that should be fine,” Yao said.

Indeed the the need for such rede-

velopment highlights the mismatch of developer desires and more modest demands local market demands that helped bring about the current glut. But while excess inventory may well take years to work through, home ownership remains a must for marriage in China, notes Cole, and underlying demand for (appropriately located and reasonably priced) housing remains strong. question is whether ppl willing to buy at current prices—and for now, they aren’t.

“I don’t have a nice line graph of demand for housing, but if I did, that’s been steadily going up in the last five years,” Cole said. “The line graphs that’s been going to be going up and down over the last five years is ‘am I interested in buying a house at the current prices in my city’.”

Hence, the future well-being of China’s real estate industry depends on a successful transition to consumptiondriven growth and the necessary resolve on the part of policymakers not to panic when housing sales slow down—as they will almost certainly continue to do, at least most everywhere outside of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, in 2016.

As an amazing production of Changzhou Joyland Company, The Joyland Family incorporates many recreational facilities that suit both young and old. Jiuzhou New World breaks the traditional shopping mall mode by integrating experience, entertainment, dining and themed retail. The traditional scale disparity among shopping stores, dining venues and entertaining facilities fades away. Instead, new business modes of indoor theme parks and “recreational experiential retail + dining” create an unprecedented life experience.

Internet Era Witnesses the Marriage of Business and Technology Jiuzhou New World introduces many creative brands featuring smart experience. Moreover, a series of hi-tech equipment installations are fitted in the mall, creating an incomparable consumer journey.

There are also attractive singing and dancing performances.

One-stop dining solutions are offered in the plaza: consumers can search for the specific locations of each restaurant, see detailed menu with prices, book seats, order dishes and pay the bill via a mobile APP. An array of smart devices are seen everywhere such as virtual fittings, air curtain projection, electronic screen and WII motion sensing games to offer the latest and multiple smart services. Products are delivered to home on schedule through smart goods delivery systems. When customers are unable to afford certain pieces due to a lack of cash on hand or sufficient card balance,

the plaza provides payment services for small goods.

The smart parking system allows car owners to reach their assigned parking place in the shortest time and locate the place quickly while leaving. Payment is also conveniently done through the system.

Brand new smart outfits overturn people’s recognition of shopping malls and declare the coming of the “New Experience Era” in this city complex.

In the “Internet+” age, traditional business modes are changing continuously while shopping malls have also undergone a transformation in the scitech evolution. Jiuzhou New World seizes the essence of the background to this new era, developing new business modes, creating a unique experience-oriented consuming environment and establishing a hi-tech smart shopping mall that caters to every demand.

Jiuzhou New World is undoubtedly a fashionable life center second to none in Changzhou. (The article is offered by SPACE)

Disney’s legendary kingdom

n the 1920s, the first dialogued animation film <Steamboat Willie> was born. With multiple titles, Walt Disney, the founder of The Walt Disney Company, introduced Mickey Mouse to the public.

From then on, Disney began its victorious March to domination in animation film, theme parks and derivative products sales. Disney is an exception in the entertainment world for it not only creates fairy tales, but also extends them into the real world, creatIng an everlasting business legend with its unique model.

As one of the most popular animation figures, Mickey Mouse ushered in the Disney Empire. By 1931, the “Mickey Mouse Club” had over

one million members. Donald Duck is another famous Disney produce whose fame is comparable to Mickey Mouse.

This irascible, unlucky, complaining duck also possesses uniquely perseverant characteristics, never defeated by failures and continuing to fight to the very end.

Disney also creates many other well-known figures: kind-hearted and passionate Goofy, elegant and beautiful Snow White, humorous and virtuous Cinderella, lovely honey fan Winnie the Pooh, cute and brave Simba…… Animators acutely observe the details of life, deliberate In the design of every image and boldly endowing them with typically iconic American characteristics such as

heroism, individualism, positive spirit.

They meticulously plan and perfect every story line and unfailingly impress the audience with positive energy.

Fantastic Theme Park What a bold attempt it is to move the scenes in fairy tales into the real world and extend imaginary childhood happiness to public reality! The idea of constructing Disneyland was attributed to an specific experience in Walt Disney’s daily life. One day, when Walt took his kids to an playground, he was much moved by their pure happiness on the merry-go-round. So he decided to build a park himself, not only for little kids but for the whole family to enjoy. Afterwards, with the help of the

CULTURE MAP

National Broadcasting Company, Walt and his brother Roy spent all they had and managed to build the first Disneyland in Anaheim, California in 1955.

In October 1971, the first part of Disney World in Orlando had its official opening. Its name was later changed to Walt Disney World. Now the Walt Disney Resort in Orlando is the biggest Disney resort in the world, boasting four theme parks: Disney’s Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studio and Disney’s Animal Kingdom; two water parks: Disney Typhoon Lagoon and Disney Blizzard Beach; 30 theme hotels, Disney Town and ESPN Wide World of Sports.

Disney so far has six global toplevel destinations for family travel. In addition to the Disneyland Resort in California, there is Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, the Tokyo Disney Resort, Disneyland Resort Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland Resort,

with Shanghai Disney Resort under construction and due to be unveiled in 2016. In Disneyland, Disney fans all over the world together enjoy an unprecedented sensual experience as if entering the animation world. Fantasy turns into reality.

Bright Future Full of Imaginations The success of animation is surely the precondition for derivative products sales. In 1929, a man came up to Walt Disney in a hotel and said he would pay 300 dollars for permission to print Mickey Mouse on his own table. According to Walt Disney, such requests kept increasing as time passed by. Gradually, derivative products sales and franchising came to constitute one of the main sources of income for Disney. In 2003, Mickey Mouse ranked at the top of the Rich List of Virtual Images issued by Forbes, with 5.8 bil-

lion dollars value. Undoubtedly, the industry chain of Disney’s derivative products began wth this little mouse.

In 1848, Disney started publishing Mickey Mouse Magazine and by 2002, it could be found in 24 countries and regions worldwide. Moreover, audiovisual goods and authorized products of Mickey Mouse are seen everywhere. At present, Disney-related products exceed 10,000 in number. In China alone, there are more than 100 companies with authorization to sell Disney products with several thousand of counters in operation. Franchising and brand authorizing gives Disney a steady flow of income without a cent of expense for extra production, a creative mode to deeply dig into a brand’s added value.

Disney has exceedingly accurate market positioning. Each series targets different ages and genders. For example, the princess series is designed for girls, while automobile images are for boys aged from 3 to 6, and Marvel heroes for boys from 6 to 11. Disney re-integrates individual princess images and forms a new diverse princess series, which has contributed four billion dollars to Disney revenue so far. In 2014, with a net income of 7.5 billion dollars, Disney left Time Warner, Viacom and 21st Century Fox far behind.

With various classic cartoons and films that bring continuous surprises, The amazing Disneyland that attracts so many visitors every day, powerful marketing and brilliant derivative products, Disney has turned the original simple workshop into a giant, incomparable entertainment kingdom.

LOOKING AT CHINA

Cold We’re probably warmer than we used to be, but that may not be good for the economy

By Graham Earnshaw

I

hate cold weather. I always have. I grew up in the north of England, which is certainly not a warm environment, but for whatever reason I can handle temperatures up to any number you like, I enjoy sweating and being almost suffocated by steaming humidity and you won’t hear me complain. So when winter comes around, it is always something of a trial.

If what they say about global warming is true, and I believe it is, then the planet is getting warmer and over time winters should become less severe, even in freezing parts of China. I look forward eagerly to the day when this becomes a reality. A few million people may lose their homes on seashores around the world, but, hey, I will not have to wear long underwear.

But cold today, compared to when I was growing up, and even say twenty or thirty years ago, is much less intense, or at least the perception of it seems less intense. And I don’t think that it is global warming that is causing the change in my perception. Many people including myself are subject less to extreme cold than was true in the past.

Technology is largely responsible for this. First of all, winter clothing is dramatically warmer, and much lighter for the same level of cold protection. The warmest clothes I could find in China in 1970s was a thick padded PLA greatcoat which weighed a ton. Those coats were certainly warm, but they also let in icy stabs through holes and corners. I guess

76

China Economic Review | December 2015

that served the purpose of keeping me awake as I stood freezing in front of walls reading big character posters, but I would preferred to be really warm.

Nowadays, light winter jackets seem to provide exactly the same level of protection from the cold without the bulk.

They lack that sense of cultural coolness which the PLA great codes used to provide, but that’s another story.

Cars and public transport also seem to have much more effective heating systems these days. The technology of private sedan cars particularly seems to have improved by huge leaps and bounds over the decades. I remember freezing in cars when I was young, and I don’t have that same sense of being unbelievably cold while sitting in a car anymore. The heating systems in today’s cars seem to warm up the space much faster, and I’m grateful to the engineers who have managed to make this possible.

Technology is also changing habits, which means that many people, I guess including myself, go out less than we used to into the depths of winter.

We now stay indoors more, shop at home where it is warm, and go out less to supermarkets or department stores to buy things. We keep warmer that way, and it provides some employment opportunities for the many motorbike couriers.

The same holds true for eating and entertainment. Ordering food for home delivery would never have occurred to us two or three decades ago but is now a regular part of the lives of millions. And as for entertainment, if you wanted to see a movie way back when, you had to go out into the cold and go to the cinema, which was probably also freezing.

Now, we can sit wherever we like, in the warmth, and watch movies or read wechat posts at our leisure without stirring a leg muscle.

The impact of these technology changes on the retail sector of the economy is obvious for all to see. There seem to be a growing number are closed retail spaces as online shopping and other trends take hold. One of my favorite restaurants with outdoor seating is no longer operating--they closed just before the winter season began, clearly seeing the opportunity to close before revenues plummeted.

Not to worry, spring will be with us again before too long. But maybe not that restaurant.
