There, private economists are back enjoying their favorite pastime during periods of economic stress, namely trying to construct their own indices for GDP growth as at such times they do not believe the official statistics. Officially, Chinese growth is rock-steady at 7% per year, which happens to be the government’s declared target, but private economists’ estimates mostly range between 4% and 6%.
还有中国本身，它的减速是其他所有人用来解释自身迟滞的最佳借口。中国的私人经济学家又回到了过去他们最喜欢的经济压力期，也就是推算自己的GDP增长指标而不信任官方统计数字的时期。从官方数据看，中国增长仍保持在稳健的7%，也就是政府宣布的增长目标，但私人经济学家的测算大多在4—6%。
