摘要

In the Haidan district of western Beijing stands the world's biggest shopping mall. Six storeys high, with 230 escalators and over 6m square feet (558,000 square metres) of retail space, it is a temple to consumption. Over 1,000 shops sell everything from clocks to cats; the "Fantawild Hitech Family Funplex" offers entertainment; an ice-rink beckons. Only one thing is missing: customers. On a weekday morning in early July, the place was virtually empty, and such visitors as there were seemed to be window-shopping rather than buying. Like the rest of the world, the "Golden Resources Shopping Mall" is still waiting for a big Chinese consumption boom. Thanks to rocketing economic growth, the Chinese are spending a lot more than they used to. There are now 59 washing machines per 100 households, up from one in 1985. The number of Chinese travelling abroad rose by 43% last year, to 29m. But Chinese saving is growing even more rapidly. Since 2000, the country's overall saving rate—already the world's highest by far-has risen sharply, to nearly 50% of GDP (see chart 7). Even though China is investing at the staggering rate of 46% of GDP, it is still running a net saving surplus, and that surplus is still growing. It rose from 1.9% of GDP in 2000 to 4.2% in 2004, and shows no signs of stopping.
