Slow pace my rrrsss. Silly muppet presstitutes haven't got a clue! The West would kill for a fraction of China's current growth figures. Get this - on top of an amazing 9.1% GDP growth rate, and despite the stagnant OECD economies, China's global exports have slowed from 22% to 17+%. Pity the poor souls who have to live under such dreadful employment prospects ;) I'd love China to begin reporting job growth figures so we could compare those to the State's numbers. What an embarrassment that would be to Nobama in terms of the success of installing his "change" agenda.
