I think saving is a very important elements to boost the Chinese economy. This is the main reason that why China is able to maintain such a high growth rate of averagely 10.3% per year since 1970s.
There is another factor called Marginal product of labor and capital. The turbulence before 1970 has destroyed many capital and labor, and after 1970, a relatively stable environment accumilated labor, and the marginal product of capital is high since there is little labor left. And thus the investment rate outweigh the depreciation rate and thus boost the economy move to the steady state. What is more, the high saving rates will give momentum to the investment and keep the economy a high potential to increase.
However, the increase caused by saving and investment is contemporary, in order to maintain the high level of growth, it is the consumption matter. And this will relate to the farming problems. Chinese farmer has taken up quite a big part in the total population, so it is the demand-side policy to encourage the farmers to spend. And this will requrie a legal system to prtect the farmers and make the market for farmers grow in a healthy trend.
The investment also will increase because the effect from abroad. The foreign direct investment (FDI) is increasing throughout the recent years and this is also the major effect of the boost of Chinese economy.However, the increase in the foreign direct investment may be dangerous, with regard to the reason that the exchange rate is low and the consumption of the economy haven't gone up as fast as the investment and may cause the problem of overinvest, which will lead to inflaiton.
Thus, to sum up, the policy now needed is to increase the consumption rate of the economy and reduce some kind of investment, spend more on the welfare side and keep the economy develop in a less dangerouse way.
