China’s economy was stable as reported by the NBS, shaking off the negative growth of 54 months and showing that China’s industrial output has escaped from the difficulty of deflation. If the short-term steady growth policy and the long-term structural reform policy can be carried out, economic growth is expected to be over 6.5% next year — despite any potential actions by the US Federal Reserve and domestic pressures.

China is increasingly portrayed as the next disaster in a crisis-prone world. Stephen S. Roach disagrees, recognizing his minority opinion. Roach argues that without China, the world economy would already be in recession, citing the IMF’s October World Economic Outlook.

Despite all the hand-wringing over the vaunted China slowdown, the Chinese economy remains the single largest contributor to world GDP growth.
