China's switch from high-speed growth...>

CHINA PRESS: China's switch from high-speed growth to high-quality growth does

not mean local governments should ignore growth speed, the CPC's official

mouthpiece People's Daily said in a commentary Monday. 

- Recent economic data released by some local governments showed the growth of

GDP dropped fast, indicating flaws in the industry structures: the Daily 

- High-quality growth needs to overlap with improvements in the speed of growth,

and in the quality and structure of the economy itself: the Daily 

- New drivers of economy and new industries need to be supported to boost the

healthy development of the economy: the Daily 

***TAKEAWAY: A relatively high GDP growth is still one of the goals of China,

though enhancement of economic quality and restructuring are also important. The

government may list specific GDP goals for this year in the Two Sessions, to be

held in March.
