Talking Points: GDP slowdown

Any landing you walk away from is a good one, but does that apply to China? It's an important question as the country risks a deep economic slowdown. The consensus view now holds that growth will be 7.7 per cent for 2012. Yet the definition of a "hard landing" is a moving target. Two years ago, it was defined as less than 8 per cent growth.

Since then, it switched to growth of less than 7 per cent and even 6 per cent expansion, or growth last seen during the Lehman crisis.
