6.1 percent is bad when it may not be accurate anyway, and you have millions of desperately poor people unable to find a job.

As an old saying goes, I wish we had their problems (well, not all of them).

Guys trust me when I say you would much prefer the United states economy, even with all the current problems, over the Chinese economy. That country needs to grow at 8-10% just to keep poverty from rising. They are a developing economy while we are a developed economy. Our growth rates are supposed to be different.

Both had that rate and at times much higher back when they were industrializing.  Keep in mind that China is growing as part of an international policy by the controllers.

That is true. We were just lamenting the slowdown.

6.1% growth for China is actually considered a recessionary pace by PRC officials.

True. People need to learn to take the base that the % is changing from into account, as opposed to just the %.
