So says China's State Planner as part of the 2016-2020 proposals

  • we pay more attention to employment, people's incomes and consumer prices than economic growth figure

Ah right, so it's just everyone else who's paranoid about Chinese GDP huh?!

  • economic growth is in a reasonable range
  • fundamentals for economy to improve in the long term have not change

Meanwhile PBOC chief economist Ma Jun says:

  • some market participants too bearish on China
  • recovering property sales and macro stimulus to aid growth
  • analysis shows 9-month lag in full impact of rate cuts
  • hopeful that global recovery will boost export demand
