For one thing, the government is already trying to cool down theboom. Admittedly, it is not going about this in the most direct way, byrevaluing the yuan. The fixed exchange rate and strong capital inflowshave caused foreign-exchange reserves and hence the money supply toswell. The broad money supply grew by 21% in the year to October. Thecentral bank has tried to soak up the excess liquidity by selling bonds, butthis "sterilization" has its limits. More helpfully, the central banktightened regulations on lending to property developers in June andincreased banks reserve-requirement ratio in September. The rate ofcredit growth is already falling. This should cause the economy to slownext year, but not to collapse. A second reason not to panic yet is that there are few of the signs ofoverheating usual at a cyclical peak. Chinas current-account surplussuggests that domestic demand is not overstretched; inflation, although ata six-year high, is only 1.8%; and though property prices are bubbling insome cities, average house prices have risen by only 4% in the past year. China does not look like the East Asian tigers before their crisis.Unlike China, they all had huge current-account deficits and big externaldebts, as well as higher inflation rates and surging property and shareprices. Chinas is the only stock market among the 40 that The Economisttracks each week to have fallen this year. "Overheating" usually implies excess demand which triggers higherinflation or soaring asset prices. Yet the enormous increase in industrialcapacity suggests that deflation may still be a bigger risk. Some industries, such as electricity and steel, are short of capacity.
