程晓农, 点评中国:中国新常态的实质是告别繁荣. BBC Chinese, Jan 26, 2015 www.bbc.co.uk/zhongwen/simp/focu ... 126_cr_chinaeconomy
 
 My comment:
 (a)
 (i) Cheng Xiaonong 程晓农 is editor-in-chief of Modern China Studies 当代中国研究 (published by Center for Modern China; the latter was founded by Shaomin LI  李少民 in Princeton, NJ in 1990). Dr Cheng received a PhD in sociology from Princeton University in 2013, his dissertation being “The Self-Empowered New Master at the Workplace: Privatization in Russia and China.”
 (ii) Caveat: His training being in sociology, his essays on China’s economy must be read with a grain of salt.

 (c) “国家发改委的徐策和王元不久前指出,1997到2013年中国投资的36%是无效投资,其中2009到2013年无效投资达42万亿。按照他们提供的无效投资数额,我计算的结果是,2009到2013年全国固定资产投资(扣除设备购置数额)为127万亿,无效投资约占三分之一"

 ("增量资本产出率上升意味着单位产出增长所需的投资量增加,投资效率下降。如果以1979-1996年的平均增量资本产出率作为基准匡算1997-2013年无效投资的大体规模约为66.9万亿元,占资本形成总规模的比例达35.6%。其中,2009年以来的五年间,增量资本产出率维持较高水平,匡算可得各年度无效投资规模分别为7.9、5.4、4.7、10.6和13.2万亿元,分别占当年资本形成总额的48.3%、27.6%、20.8%、41.8%和47.0%")
 
 (d) "最近长江三角洲的繁荣地区也出现了外企倒闭潮。自去年12月以来,仅诺基亚的东莞和北京工厂、苏州联建科技、东莞的万事达公司和联胜公司以及苏州的闳晖科技几家倒闭,即裁员近3万人。"

 (ii) 闳晖科技(苏州)有限公司 (手機按鍵) was owned by Lite-On Technology Corp 光寶集團.
