Chilean economist and politician Carlos Ominami, in his tell-all memoir Secretos de la Concertación, wondered what would happen if China's economy slowed or its real-estate bubble burst. By the end of the year, this seemed to be happening: commodity prices and growth rates were dropping, and 2012, while still promising strong economic performance, will not match this year's success.
但是，这也带来了新的疑问，依赖大宗商品出口是否明智。智利经济学家和政治家卡洛斯•奥米纳米在其无所不谈的回忆录《秘密的联盟》（Secretos de la Concertación）中发出疑问，如果中国经济放缓或其房地产泡沫破灭会出现什么情况。到今年底，这似乎正在发生：大宗商品价格和增长率正在下降，2012年，经济有望继续强劲增长，但是无法与今年的成功相提并论。价格持续下降可能会带来问题。
