China and the Global Slowdown

     China is facing some serious internal issues related to the global slowdown that is underway.  Growth is certainly slowing in China as a direct result of weakening global demand for its products.  This poses some significant problems for the Chinese economy since it is widely believed that China must maintain a 7-9% annual increase in GDP to maintain employment stability.  Last year growth was almost 12% and has been double digit for many years.  Forecasts for 2009 have been as low as 5-6% up to the minimum levels in the target range.
