A commentary piece in Xinhua that outloines current challenges facing the Chinese economy:

  • Such as a weak global recovery, rising trade protectionism, domestic debt overhang & excess capacity

But still, it says:

  • China's contribution to world growth in 2016 is again poised to top that of all other countries, exceeding the figure for all developed economies combined
  • The IMF has projected China's growth to be 6.6 percent with global growth at 3.1 percent in 2016
  • However, China's growth last year appears set to hit 6.7 percent

It concludes with a projection on growth at 6.5%
