Liu Shangxi, head of the Chinese Academy of Fiscal Sciences, an important think tank under the Ministry of Finance that advises Beijing on fiscal policy believes Beijing will avoid introducing big stimulus because the 2008 package helped lead to inefficiencies and overcapacity in the manufacturing sector.
