Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain the economy of China, relay structure, history, sectors, regional variation and policy from official statistics, international organisations and economists with figures and debates attributed, flag regional and historical aliases, and distinguish it from the economy of Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau as separate systems and East Asian economies generally.

The economic system of the People s Republic of China, a socialist market economy in the official description, combining state-owned enterprises, a large private sector and state guidance, which grew rapidly after the reform and opening begun in 1978 under Deng Xiaoping and WTO accession in 2001, becoming the second largest economy by nominal GDP and the largest by purchasing power parity according to IMF estimates; the registry aliases name regional economies such as Hubei, Zhejiang, Sichuan and Suzhou, which are sub-national instances, the economic history of the PRC since 1949 and the economic history of the Republic of China, which concerns the pre-1949 mainland and later Taiwan and appears loosely filed. Topics such as data reliability, the property sector downturn, debt, trade tensions and poverty reduction claims are debated, and figures and positions are attributed and should be checked against current sources.

What it is for: Describing China s production, trade and economic policy.

It can be explain structure and history; relay sectors and regions; flag regional and historical aliases; present debates with attribution.

What the second pass must settle

  • The registry aliases for provincial and city economies should be split off as instances
  • The registry alias economic history of the Republic of China should be moved to its own entry
  • How should official and independent estimates be presented together?
