  This quotation indicates the global impact of the Chinese economy. Because a large proportion of Japanese goods' is exported to China, a decrease in demand means that there would be less output. This can be related to the US GDP article, stating that a decrease in demand would make it difficult to produce the good to be either exported or imported and have affect on GDP growth.

Japan's factory output was weaker than expected in April because of slower demand for electronics goods, especially in China. Output was 0.2% higher in April from March, the Trade and Industry Ministry said. Analysts had forecast a figure of 0.5%. The ministry said it expects output to fall in May, before rebounding in June.

  Unemployment raises when there is more demand for working because no matter whether there is an increase or decrease in the working labour force, the number of available jobs are limited. Because there is a limited number in the number of jobs, the increase in demand for employment raises the unemployment rate.
