Bloomberg.com: Worldwide
China’s electricity output declined 7.8 percent in November from a year earlier and fell 3 percent in October, the first declines since February 2002, according to China Economic Information Net data compiled by Bloomberg. Manufacturing shrank for a third month as the deepening global recession cut demand for the nation’s toys, clothes and electronics.
Edwards said rising unemployment among factory workers will fuel social unrest, threatening the Communist Party’s survival and increasing the risk authorities will devalue the yuan to boost exports.

No matter how bad we think we have it economically in the USA it is usually worse outside the USA.
Before this downturn China needed to create about 20 Million jobs a year to maintain it's unempolyment rate - unofficially in the high teens.
Protectionism was the problem in the 30s. Maybe currency devaluation will be the problem today.
