Shanghai Securities News reports on comments from Li Yining, an economist with Peking University:

  • GDP growth below 7% is acceptable as long as China is able to improve its economic structure
  • Economic structure is more important than size
  • China has paid a price for high growth in the past including environmental pollution, resources depletion and overcapacity

Expectations from Chinese GDP growth continue to be marched lower by all sorts of comments and reports.
