It seems like they will be affected by depressed US markets no matter what, given their reliance on exports. This news clip has some perspectives from Chinese citizens, and they sound a lot like American citizens being interviewed about the economy - worried and gloomy. http://www.newsy.com/videos/china_pushes_for_growth/ Is China’s own consumption enough to keep them on their projected growth path?

We have a world economy not a bunch of national economies. This is especially true with China whose major revenue is from exports. Who is placing these orders and on what basis? Those are the businesses we should be looking at. Or is this, as others have said, fluff? This is illogical. We have a world economy not a bunch of national economies.

How very cool that 5.67% growth is viewed badly. And what was the view during the Cultural Revolution? And what exactly does that mean for the US? $140/b oil again. Doesn't seem like anything good for China is good for us except when they feel rich enough to buy our debt. Well may be they'd rather buy debt from Greece. So, I'm confused. Is China's zoom based on their export balance or what? Does that mean they're finding their own internal consumption to fuel their growth? And don't need us anymore? Wow.
