Why Chinese economic worries look overdone
Despite financial nervousness, rebalancing continues



Brazil’s economy is in a mess, with far bigger problems than the government will admit or investors seem to register. The torpid stagnation into which it fell in 2013 is becoming a full-blown—and probably prolonged—recession, as high inflation squeezes wages and consumers’ debt payments rise.

 Some of the passages which I have left untranslated seemed to me to overweight the introspective side of the Journal, already so full—to overweight it, at any rate, for English readers.

Worries about China's growing appetite for mining acquisitions may be overblown. PriceWaterhouseCoopers estimates $113 billion's worth of mining mergers and acquisitions were done globally in 2010. Acquisitions by Chinese companies totaled not quite $12 billion, or just more than 10% of the total.
