In his keynote speech at the CDF, Zhang Gaoli, one of the seven members of the Politburo Standing Committee (the Chinese Communist Party’s highest decision-making body), declared that the senior leadership has rendered the “strategic judgment that China’s economy has entered the stage of the new normal.” Yet, at the CDF’s wrap-up session, Premier Li Keqiang suggested, a bit less decisively, that China is basically following the world economy in its transition to a new normal.
在中国发展高层论坛的重要讲话中，中共政治局常委张高丽表示，“中国经济发展进入新常……是战略判断。”但是，在论坛的总结会议上，李克强总理指出——与张高丽相比略少了一些果断——中国从根本上是在追随世界经济向新常态的转变。
