Chinese Economists Don’t Worry About the Fed’s Taper

In article published today in the Wall Street Journal writing about the gradual end of easy money:
"The winding down of U.S. monetary easing could trigger “a mild financial crisis” in some emerging economies, but not China, says Li Daokui, an economist at Tsinghua University and a former adviser to the central bank.
On the plus side, he says, the gradual exit from so-called quantitative easing by the U.S. Federal Reserve will take the pressure off China to appreciate its currency — a good thing for exporters because it will make their goods more competitive in international markets.
On the minus side, emerging markets like Brazil, India and Indonesia — all vulnerable to rising interest rates in the U.S., and capital outflows — are big trading partners of China".
