Made-in-China: Boom or gloom?

In another sign of economic resilience, made-in-China continued to display dynamism despite increased downward pressure. NBS data showed that the purchasing managers' index for China's manufacturing sector re-entered the expansion zone by firming up to 50.2 in November from 49.3 in October.

Analysts suggested that China, as the only country that possesses all the industrial categories in the United Nations industrial classification, has the competitive edge of a complete and efficient supply chain.

As the country continued its structural shift to quality-oriented growth, high-tech manufacturing has also been forging ahead, with an output increase of 8.9 percent in November, and investment surging 14.8 percent year-on-year in the first 11 months of this year, far outpacing the manufacturing sector's average growth of 2.5 percent, official data showed.

Foreign trade: Firming up or faltering?

At odds with what some market observers may have surmised, China's foreign trade remained steady this year, climbing 2.4 percent year-on-year to 28.5 trillion yuan in the first 11 months with exports of high-tech, high-quality and high value-added goods expanding at a faster-than-average rate.

The scope and scale of foreign trade has kept growing as China opens wider to the world. In the first 11 months of this year, China's trade with the European Union and ASEAN expanded, while trade with countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative reported faster growth than the overall average to account for 29.3 percent of the total trade.

China's commitment to increasing imports is evident in hosting the China International Import Expo and adjusting import tariffs for a range of products starting next year, allowing other countries and regions to share in China's development.

Foreign firms: Investing or retreating?

Misgivings about foreign firms faced with trade tensions and rising costs withdrawing from China are overblown, as the country saw foreign direct investment utilized in the first 11 months of this year rising 6 percent year-on-year, and more than 100 new foreign-invested firms set up every day.

China remains the second-largest recipient of FDI and the largest among developing economies, according to a report by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development.

The country has taken concrete policies and legislative measures to improve its business environment that grants equality of rights, opportunities and rules for domestic and foreign companies alike, ascending 15 places to rank 31st globally this year on the World Bank's ease of doing business list.

Capital market: Improving or imploding?

Defusing risks and improving the market system, China saw its capital market make a bullish run this year, with the Shenzhen Component Index rising almost 40 percent and the Shanghai Composite Index up nearly 20 percent from closing on the last trading day of 2018.

China's financial opening-up efforts, which include stock connect schemes and scrapping QFII and RQFII quotas into the country's capital market, as well as its strong and increasingly international currency, made yuan-denominated assets more attractive to investors worldwide as foreign holdings of Chinese stocks and bonds jumped 53.56 percent and 27.6 percent respectively in the first nine months of this year.

Inclusion to and increased weighting of China's stocks and bonds in global benchmarks like the MSCI, FTSE Russell, S&P Dow Jones and Bloomberg Barclays index are expected to channel more foreign capital into China's financial market, while ongoing reforms including the registration-based IPO system and spin-off listings bode sustainable growth.

En route to high-quality and more sustainable growth, China is yet to dazzle the world as it stands poised to finish building a moderately prosperous society in all respects next year and turn its institutional strength into better governance in the long run.
