slow down in china, page-25

Its been said a million times.

Anecdotal evidence (and thats all that can be relied upon from Chinese statistics) 9 % growth, what down to 8 maybe 7 maybe 6 still impressive when sheer size is taken into account.

If China slowed so much as people are dreading, there would be anarchy. The genie is well and truly out of the bottle.

Dont listen to me. Go have a look. Its just a short flight away. Then you'll see that US demand planted the seeds, but Chinese demand will keep it rolling. All the bollocks at the moment is financial engineering that has sparked contagion. Nothing has been destroyed except the housing dreams of many. Aspirations of millions upon millions of people of the real economies remain. Look at the big picture and ride it out.

PS Forget the Chinese stock markets as an indicator. Everyone knows that they're just a giant casino.
