For China, there is a deeper meaning to recent global developments.  A second major warning shot in three years has been fired at this export-led economy.  First, the United States, and now Europe – China's two largest export markets are in serious trouble and can no longer be counted on as reliable, sustainable sources of external demand.
Considerando improbabile un altro grave shock di domanda esterna come quello del 2008 (sempre che l’Europa non imploda), c’è ragione di sperare in un atterraggio morbido corrispondente all’8% di crescita del Pil.
