China’s industrial policies and growth model at large, the critics complain, are beggar-thy-neighbour. Superficially, Robinson’s description would seem to apply to China’s policies, since its export surplus requires other countries to run trade deficits. In other words, countries worried about China’s impact on their manufacturing sectors should deploy their own versions of China’s industrial policies. In all the discussion on beggar-thy-neighbour policies, we should not forget renewables, where China’s industrial policies have generated enormous enrich-the-world effects. China’s critics might have a stronger point when they argue that China’s overall macroeconomic posture is harmful to China’s own economy—that it is beggaring itself.
