"Reverse transmission mechanism" is a deep-seated problem in China's economy.Understanding it is the key to unraveling the interaction among China's growth mechanism,cycles and policy options.In the new millennium,great changes have occurred in the economic environment and the "reverse transmission mechanism" has shown that it works in different ways.From this approach,this paper concludes that "welfare and administrative spending rigidity" after 2000 has a stronger feature of "reverse transmission," which forces China's economy onto a path of unsustainable expansion.To seek sustainable growth,new reverse transmissions of welfare and administrative spending must be broken.In light of the present phase of development,only by adjusting administrative costs and welfare spending can we balance development,transform the growth pattern,and embark on a sustainable path.

Since the Great Depression in 1929,economists have continued soul-searching for the lessons to be drawn from the crisis.But mainstream reflections have been misguided,conf ined to stereotypical targets of blame such as "lax regulation," "policy mistakes" and "underestimation of risks." Regretfully,understanding of the root cause of the current sub-prime crisis is as superficial as before.The reasons for both crises seem to be polar opposites:the Great Depression of 1929 was triggered by insufficient effective demand,while the ongoing sub-prime mortgage crisis was triggered by "excess" effective demand.In fact,however,the classic crisis and the modern crisis in the capitalist world essentially originate from the same thing:crisis of overproduction.The shift from classic crisis into modern crisis only kicks the ball from supply side to demand side.Given the intrinsic contradictions of the market economy that give rise to the crisis,the analytical framework of "risk and regulation" proves difficult to help us understand its nature.For this reason,we must turn to a Marxist questioning of the crisis.

The outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis is a historic event,marking the end of the excessive consumption model and laissez-faire capitalism.It also marked the collapse of the old economic structure,ushering in a period of dramatic adjustment and turbulence.For the next few years,China may suffer a significant drop in domestic and foreign demand as well as industrial growth rate.The subprime mortgage crisis has reduced resident income expectancy,therefore slashing people's spending on entertainment,tourism,education,communication,etc.However,in the long term,China has huge potential for economic growth.In order to reduce the risks and seize the opportunities,we need to take positive measures to stimulate domestic demand,accelerate economic restructuring,and maintain stable and rapid economic growth.

From the perspective of intra-product specialization and with in-depth analysis of trade statistics,this paper investigates the influence of China's rise on the East Asian production network.Our conclusions suggest that in integrating into the East Asian production network,China has gradually emerged as the manufacturing center of East Asia,weakening the regional influence of the Four Asian Tigers.Meanwhile,the competitive effect of China's rise has helped promote the specialization levels of the network's members and even the network as a whole.With cooperation in various processes of intra-product specialization,internal connections of the East Asian production network were further strengthened.In addition,China became an export platform of East Asia,transforming the export pattern of the East Asian production network to world markets from "bilateral trade" into "triangular trade," trade via China.

Rising export and market shares and rampant bankruptcies coexist in China's apparel industry.Against the backdrop of the global value chain,the by-country industrial competitiveness evaluation system based on final products is failing.Using the global value chain theory,this article investigates the international competitiveness of China's apparel industry and introduces the case study of Nike's global value chain,reaching the conclusion that existing evaluations have exaggerated the international competitiveness of China's apparel industry.China's apparel industry is at the lowest level of the global value chain,and most local enterprises have not entered the mainstream global value chain and are still internationally uncompetitive.As far as China's current economic development level and targets are concerned,it may be too unrealistic to discuss industrial upgrading entirely from the perspective of OEM-ODM-OBM.China's apparel producers should stick to both paths:one is the priority to strengthen manufacturing and OEM;the other is to do more learning to go beyond sub-contract manufacturing and prepare for long-term growth of OBM.Building middle and high-end apparel producers and creating local brands by virtue of China's status as a big country is the right path for development given the industry's present situation.

This article conducts an empirical study of how access to mineral resources can constrain China's economic growth.The authors reckon that due to the relatively low price elasticity of supply and demand in relation to mineral resources over the short run,access to mineral resources places pronounced constraints on economic growth in the short run,but only marginal constraints on economic growth in the long run.This split is the result of alternate resource substitution and technological progress.In this article,the authors have calculated the actual effects of access to mineral resources on China's economic growth using 2001-2006 mineral resource import and export data.The results of these calculations show that,in the short run,access to mineral resources is increasingly placing constraints on China's economic growth.The value of these constraints rose from 4.96% of GDP in 2006 to 5.74% of GDP in 2007 (estimated).Contrastingly,in the long run,the constraints that access to mineral resources place on China's economic growth are quite limited at approximately 0.23% of GDP.

The Law of the People's Republic of China on Employment Contracts has stoked wide concern across China.One of the focuses of debate is on termination costs.Utilizing an enterprise attitude survey,this article discusses the impact of the law on termination costs and employment behavior of China's enterprises.The research shows that the law has different impacts on enterprises of varied ownerships and scales.The law,while giving rise to higher termination costs for enterprises,urges them to take diversified measures to adjust their human resources.
