China's economy is not doing so well. The​ country's 'One Child Policy' seems to have backfired as it led to a significantly smaller workforce. Their efforts to boost ​the property market after the 2008 Sichuan ​Earthquake left their real estate market overval​u​ed and underused, giving rise to its 'ghost cities'. Most recently, the Chinese government's attempt to divert attention from their failing ​property market to the their stock market led to a bubble that burst in ​July 2015. Things got so bad that ​China even had to de​v​aluate the Yuan ​in order to keep ​it ​afloat.​ China is a ​huge manufacturing hub​ and in a globalized world, several economies depend on them for trade. ​And so, when China's econom​y began to slow down, economies like Japan, ​the ​U.S., Australia and Brazil​ began facing import​/export problems too. ​Meanwhile, developing ​economies ​like India, Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia ​are perched to make the most of the trade vacuum created by China. ​All in all, the global economy is on the brink of change.
