    In a recession, people spend less. As a result stores order less inventory. A lot of products that you find in the big retail stores carry a "Made in China" label. If people buy less goods then the stores will order less inports from China. As a result Chinese factories willl feel the effect of less exports. But since China has so many people, these factories can still sell a large amount of their produce locally. Also there is a large trade imbalance between China and most develoed countries. This means that we import a lot more Chinese products than what the Chinese buy from us. Is this fair - nope?
