Best quote in the entire article
"The Chinese economy has grown so fast for so long that it is now growing off a high base as the second largest economy in the world.  Growth of 5% is almost like adding a Korea or a Taiwan sized economy every year to a population whose workforce has already peaked.  The deceleration might scare some people, but a disaster it is not".
