The real extent of China's economic hard landing

The cynical explanation for the rash of anti-Japanese demonstrations that spread across China this week is that Beijing encouraged the protests, or at least allowed them to go ahead, in order to take people's minds off what is going on at home.

Behind China's slowdown lies the enormous investment boom of the last few years.
