Comments on Danwei FM: Inflation in ChinaWhat is critical here is where this inflation is heading to? It's an interesting detail that the companies are actually compromising on their margins to deal with the rising costs. Then it will become more interesting how long can this situation last and after that? With the profit maximazation as the ultimate goal, the obvious solutions can, in my opinion, come in two--either heading to lower cost sites, or increasing the purchasing power of the consumers. Maybe both of them are happening or there is more? |
