They don't even want to have a Japanese style, you know, lost decades, which is a slow version of what we saw in America. So instead, they want to walk on this tightrope between rebalancing a little bit here and there through subsidies for consumer goods, like the trade in appliances.
And at the same time, they will increase Chinese exports, increase potentially infrastructure spending on certain infrastructure, And this means that they have this impossible task of balancing the two, because ultimately they don't want to go full on in the rebalancing mode, which is something that they recognize that they need to do.

Besson wants to make sure that people around him and Wall Street are happy, that the markets are happy. And Jameson Greer wants to have a more level playing field.
