The "gamble" is that cities might be empty now, but they will be filled up later, an argument Stephen Roach has previously made. While some argue that this is symptomatic of a massive property bubble in China, this really shows the presence on individual property bubbles across China.” A news from Business Insider. (Mamta Badkar, 2013) Introduction “Some statistics over that ten year period are well known: China became the world's second largest economy and the world's largest goods exporter.

EGT1 -Economics and Global Business Task 4 Introduction China is the world’s leading nation in terms of population measure. As of the year 1990, the country had a population of 1,133,682,501 people. This has recorded continued growth of approximately 15 million people annually since then. Therefore, their government has placed a considerable amount of effort in ensuring that the Chinese population lives a better life.
