Still, “China has a very long way to go before we can say that it is meaningfully re-balancing,” said Michael Pettis, a professor of finance at Peking University.</p>\n<p><b>Investment and Commodities</b></p>\n<p>The state of Chinese investment in property, manufacturing and infrastructure drives aglobal industrialand commodity cycle. Beijing tightened financing for property development in the first half of the year, while slow bond sales by local governments meant infrastructure investment was muted.

A bigger role for manufacturing investment could also mean that growth has become more sustainable.</p>\n<p>China sawrecord-breakingmonthly production of commodities such as steel in the second quarter as exports and property investment remained strong and prices for industrial goods surged.
