From Reuters, via CNN:
China’s economic growth will slow to 8.6 percent in the third quarter and to 8.2 percent in the fourth amid government efforts to make growth more sustainable, the China Securities Journal quoted a think-tank as predicting.
That would take full-year growth to 8.8 percent, significantly lower than 9.5 percent seen last year and in 2003, the paper quoted a report by the National Development and Reform Commission’s Macroeconomic Institute as saying.
