“The most striking real economic fact of the past several months is not continued U.S. economic weakness, but thatChina’s economy has slowed much more quickly than anyone hadforecast.”
“There is every chance that the rate of growth of China’s (gross domestic product) is currently noticeably below the 8 per cent pace that isembodied in various forecasts for 2009.”
