China is going through a new normal, and the growth rate is slowing down. As the economy gets bigger, definitely the growth figure will become smaller.

The GDP figure seems growing slower, yet China is now focusing not only on the quantity of economic growth, but also the quality.

Other fundamentals, including the efficiency of resources, environmental protection, are also taking care of.

The reduction of economic growth is not the thing to be worried about. I think China will continue to grow sustainably.

Coming from a friendly country, we are very happy to see that China is growing continuously.
