On the demand side, the ongoing economic slowdown in China is starting to affect companies orders and revenues, adding to the challenges stemming from the persistently sluggish US economy. Meanwhile, the euro s recent appreciation (particularly against the Japanese yen) limits Europe s ability to compensate for anemic global demand by capturing greater market share.

Now China has to figure out a way to sustain growth when demand in the rest of the world is sluggish. A return to a substantially undervalued exchange rate would almost certainly provoke an international response, including from the US Congress.

The deleveraging of governments, financial institutions, and households is one major cause of the sluggish economic recovery. But sluggish growth means less tax revenue and more demands for payments to cushion hardship, placing pressure on government budgets.

Japan recorded its highest annual growth rate since 1996, whereas the European Union recovery remained sluggish.

that you won't be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherited the promises.

Of course, exports have also slowed, given sluggish growth in the rest of the world. Commodity exporters such as Australia, Indonesia, and Brazil have already felt the effects of slowing Chinese growth, as have countries, such as Germany and Switzerland, that depend on satisfying China s voracious demand for capital intensive goods.

Market access should be high on the agenda especially for a sluggish US economy that needs new sources of growth, like exports. With China now America s third largest and by far its most rapidly growing export market, the US should push hard to expand business opportunities in China, especially as the Chinese economy tilts increasingly toward internal demand.

The Bank of England has warned economic growth will remain sluggish as it kept interest rates on hold amid a tightening squeeze on family incomes.

In order to avoid such an outcome, Li must adapt China s growth model to current conditions, which include intensifying trade friction with the European Union and the United States, greater pressure to allow the renminbi to appreciate, an aging population, slowing urbanization, and rising labor costs. The new normal that has emerged from the global financial crisis, characterized by sluggish GDP growth and diminished import demand in the West, makes reform even more urgent.

A normal gap between supply and demand for some subset of currently produced commodities is not a serious problem, because it is balanced by excess demand for other currently produced commodities. As industries suffering from insufficient demand shed workers, industries benefiting from surplus demand hire them.

Moreover, production may occur in response to actual demand, not anticipated or forecast demand. In some sense, this represents the ultimate compression of supply chains, as firms produce to final demand with minimal delay.

Second, the Chinese production mix does not correspond to domestic demand, and investment in long products has outpaced demand growth.
