China’s shifting economy mints US corporate winners, losers
China is losing its appetite for dump trucks, iron ore and construction cranes. But the Chinese still want to travel and give their kids a better education.
Growth in the world’s second-largest economy is decelerating and rattling financial markets around the world. Behind that slowdown is an evolutionary shift in China’s economy— from a dependence on exports and investment in factories and housing — to a reliance on spending by its emerging middle class.
That transition, a gradual and perhaps painful one, will affect which U.S. companies stand to benefit and which will be squeezed as China’s growth slides from the double-digit annual rates of the mid-2000s to 7 per cent, 6 per cent, maybe even less.

Chief of Chinese-led Asian regional bank says door still open for US, Japan to be members
– canadianbusiness.com
SEOUL, South Korea – The inaugural president of a Chinese-led Asian regional bank said Wednesday the door remains open to the United States and Japan becoming members of the institution that Washington objected to.
Jin Liqun, president-designate of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, said that the bank will work closely with the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and other institutions. He said it will explore opportunities for joint financing of infrastructure with those institutions.
“We had rounds of discussions with Japanese authorities and U.S. authorities about many kinds of co-operation, which we could have,” he said at a press briefing during his first visit to an AIIB member country. “So the door keeps open for Japan and the United States to be a member of the AIIB.”
The U.S. had complained that the AIIB would undercut existing institutions and might allow looser lending standards. But the bank won wide support from U…
