国际英语资讯:Economic Watch: Why a slower Chinese economy will help anchor global growth

BEIJING, March 20 (Xinhua) -- A slower but more sustainable Chinese economy will be good for China and better for the rest of the world.

The world economy has been in a low-growth trap for five years, as persistent growth shortfalls have weighed on future output expectations while widening productivity gaps contributed to rising inequality.

Speaking in Beijing over the weekend, Gabriela Ramos, Chief of Staff of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), explained that the challenges facing the world economy are particularly thorny and beyond her expectations.

China has lowered its 2017 growth target to around 6.5 percent, the lowest in more than two decades, described as "realistic and in keeping with economic principles."

China's sociopolitical stability and economic dynamism will continue as slower but more sustainable growth trajectory is backed by consistent efforts to address structural problems.

China, once known as the "kingdom of bicycles," now has more than two million brightly colored new bikes on the road, unlocked by mobile apps and tracked by GPS.

Small wonder that China leads the world in bike-sharing considering the number of consumers, but the current bicycle-mania draws together all the key elements of China's new growth model: Internet technology, a vast market and environmentally friendliness.

China's new pattern is underpinned by its emergence as a manufacturer of the state-of-the-art robots and drones rather than shoddy plastic goods and toys.
