For decades, China’s economic growth has awed the world. But over the past year in particular, declining growth rates, precipitous plunges in the stock market, and uncertainty over the speed with which China’s leaders will carry out reforms are causing many observers to question whether China’s boom years are coming to an end. The Financial Times has covered the China slowdown closely, most recently with an original short documentary film, “The End of the Chinese Miracle.” The film shows how rural to urban migration—one of the chief engines of China’s explosive growth—has slowed significantly, manufacturing wages are on the rise, and international factories are beginning to relocate to countries with cheaper, more plentiful labor.
