Over the weekend I posted a quick preview for China's Q4 GDP, and also industrial production and retail sales
Its due Tuesday 19 January 2016 at 0200GMT
A slightly different take from Bloomberg, with 5 things to watch
1. The difference between nominal growth (not adjusted for inflation or deflation), and real growth (which is adjusted)
- This is the GDP deflator, an inflation indicator
- Deepening deflation would be a negative sign
2. If income is rising, if so it should augur well for consumption
3. What are the growth drivers?
4. Investment levels into the real estate market
5. The retail sales figures that will be released Tuesday along with GDP

I'll try to get info on the above out when the data hits, some of it may be very difficult to come by in the following minutes though.
