The article points out that what they say they are doing and what they are actually doing are two different things. I'm not sure that they can make the swing from their export dependency without a fair amount of upheaval and pain, which may also hurt their neighbours and western importers of Chinese made goods (read everything you wear, read, watch TV on, listen to the radio on...etc. etc).
