Photo: CNS PhotoIn recent years, some economies, anxious about their own industrial competitiveness and market position, have politicized economic and trade issues, taking turns to hype false narratives such as "China overcapacity" and a "China Shock 2.0," and using them as pretexts to roll out protectionist measures.
But what are the facts on the ground?
China's Ministry of Commerce recently released a document titled China's Position on the So-Called Excess Capacity Issue. Reviewing the evolution of the global capacity landscape from a historical perspective, it offers an objective analysis of how industrial subsidies, trade surpluses, economic imbalances and market competition relate to "overcapacity," sets out China's policy practices and the direction of its efforts, and puts forward China's ideas and proposals - a forceful response to the "China overcapacity" narrative. 
Plainly, the argument that "China's inadequate domestic demand gives rise to excess capacity" rests on a logical sleight of hand - it takes a localized phenomenon at the micro level of the market and applies it wholesale to the structure of the macroeconomy, a picture far removed from reality.
China is not only a major manufacturing power but also a major consuming power. Domestic demand has long been the main engine of the Chinese economy.
To see through the logical fallacy of the "overcapacity" narrative, one must first be clear about where the Chinese economy actually sits in the global landscape.
In the course of economic globalization, China has actively integrated itself into the international division of industrial labor and become the "world's factory" in the truest sense. Chinese manufacturing has enriched the global supply of goods, lowered living costs for consumers in countries around the world, and played an important part in easing global inflationary pressure. But to define China simply as a "producer" on that basis, and from there to conclude that it suffers from "inadequate domestic demand and overcapacity," is a proposition that does not hold water.
From 2013 to 2024, domestic demand contributed an average of 93 percent to China's economic growth, with consumption and investment accounting for an average of 55 percent and 38 percent respectively. China's total retail sales of consumer goods rose from 23.8 trillion yuan ($3.53 trillion) in 2013 to 50.1 trillion yuan in 2025, doubling in size.
Measured at the World Bank's purchasing power parity rates, China's total retail sales of consumer goods in 2025 were 1.7 times those of the US, making the country the world's largest market for consumer goods in all but name. China today ranks first globally in the physical volume of goods consumed, and its per capita annual consumption of some industrial products already approaches the levels seen in developed economies.
China keeps expanding its domestic demand and is working toward a higher-level balance between supply and demand.
Growth in China's total retail sales of consumer goods has slowed somewhat in recent years, and some have taken this as proof of weak domestic demand. That reading is neither objective nor complete.
A strong domestic market provides strategic support for Chinese modernization. The outline of China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period devotes a dedicated part to building such a market, stressing the need to adhere to the strategic focus of expanding domestic demand, to expand effective investment, to further implement special actions to boost consumption, to promote the expansion and upgrading of commodity consumption, to unleashing the potential of service consumption, to strengthening the foundation of residents' consumption and to continuously improve the consumption environment - using new demand to guide new supply, and using new supply to create new demand, so as to promote a virtuous cycle between consumption and investment, and between supply and demand, achieve a higher level of dynamic balance between supply and demand.
The slowdown in retail sales growth is consistent with China's shift from high-speed growth to high-quality development, and it also reflects the upgrading of the country's consumption structure. China's consumer market is moving faster from one dominated by goods toward one in which goods and services carry equal weight. Spending on services is growing rapidly and is expected to account for more than half of the total by 2030.
China's super-sized market is not only the bedrock of its own development but also a broad platform on which countries around the world can share in the dividends of that growth.
China has ranked as the world's second-largest importer for 17 consecutive years and is a major export destination for nearly 80 countries and regions. It has granted zero-tariff treatment to 63 countries and regions, becoming the first major economy in the world to extend full zero-tariff coverage to every African country and every least developed country that has diplomatic relations with it. It is also the only country to host an international import expo, having staged eight editions of the China International Import Expo with cumulative intended deals worth more than $580 billion. Over the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25) period, China's cumulative imports topped 90 trillion yuan. These facts and figures show clearly that China is not just the "world's factory" but, still more, the "world's market."
Looking ahead, China's middle-income group is set to exceed 800 million people within little more than a decade, and per capita GDP is expected to reach the level of a moderately developed country. With vast room for consumption and ample potential and vitality, domestic demand will remain the main engine of China's economic development and will keep injecting strong momentum into world economic growth.

。    Kenny 报道 财政部长Nicola Willis对聘请日薪2000纽币的顾问专家做出辩护。她说都怪“KiwiRail给我们惹下了烂摊子”。         Kiwirail是新西兰国营铁路公司，同时也运营岛际渡轮Interislander。渡轮为库克海峡的乘客、汽车、商业车辆和铁路货运提供接驳服务，并连接新西兰的南北两岛。

二 |          Advertise with us          据英文《先驱报》报道，政府在两个月前任命部长级顾问小组就Interislander轮渡方案提供独立意见，如今已花掉8万纽币，顾问们的日薪高达2000纽币。

三 |          由于政府拒绝为渡轮提供更多资金，导致KiwiRail的更换老化船队计划iReX陷入困境。

四 | 该计划（包括新旧码头升级）的总成本不断膨胀已经升至30亿纽币。         （图片来源：Interislander）          Willis接受英文《先驱报》采访时表示，向顾问支付高薪总比继续推进失败项目要便宜上亿纽币。         她说顾问们“在轮渡业务、基础设施采购、商业承保、货运、治理、国企领域拥有真正的专业知识”，能帮助政府做出“明智决定”。         她说如果不依靠独立顾问，就只能“继续依赖KiwiRail提供的信息和建议”，“但作为政府我们担心的是，既然KiwiRail给我们惹下了烂摊子，仅依靠它们的建议是不合适的。”          “缺少候补计划并不是本届政府的错，因为他们面对的是一个失败的灾难性项目。”          “这是KiwiRail的责任，他们实际上从未制定过自己的候补计划；也是上届政府的责任，他们也没有制定候补计划，”Willis说。

五 |          工党惠灵顿事务发言人Ayesha Verrall表示，工党政府并没有全盘接受KiwiRail提出的高成本方案。         去年大选前，KiwiRail被爆成本失控。2023年2月，KiwiRail对政府称总成本升至26亿纽币。         2023年9月，工党政府原则上决定继续资助轮渡项目，但KiwiRail需要抑制部分上升成本。         大选后国家党得知了KiwiRail项目更多细节。11月30日Willis收到iReX项目的书面简报，此时成本已经涨至30亿纽币。         12月13日，Willis发布声明，称新政府拒绝了KiwiRail关于港口基础设施的额外14.7亿纽币请求。         同一天，KiwiRail发表声明，称采购新轮渡船队和升级码头的iReX项目正式告吹。
