Should China suffer a hard economic landing, trade with its neighbors would fall along with commodity prices, hurting Australia, Brazil, Mongolia, South Korea, Japan, and Vietnam. Singapore and Hong Kong would also suffer due to relatively large financial links with China, but no other countries would be materially affected as China controls capital flows carefully. Lastly, there is always the possibility of contagion spreading fear with unknown consequences.
