ORDOS, China—For a sense of the sharp policy shift China's leaders have to orchestrate to avoid the world's second-largest economy landing with a hard thud, look no further than this Inner Mongolia desert town, where construction cranes have come to an abrupt standstill.
Just as a European crisis and a weak U.S. recovery are hurting Chinese exporters, the confidence that had sustained China's property boom is evaporating, causing a double whammy for growth: fading demand overseas and at home at the same time.
The construction slump could not have come at a worse moment for China's factories: A key manufacturing measure Thursday, the official purchasing-managers index, fell to 49 in November, below the 50 mark that separates expansion from contraction and the lowest since the financial crisis in February 2009.
With both the real-estate and export sectors in trouble, the warning light on China's growth is flashing red. Like in the last crisis, China's leaders have been quick to react but this time around their options are limited.
