CHINA: Per the Global Times: "China should set a GDP growth target of 6 percent

for the next two to three years instead of an annual one to lift the Chinese

economy back on the right path, as it faces huge uncertainty largely from

overseas, according to an economic advisor to the Chinese government. "My

opinion is that [China] should combine the economic development for the next two

to three years to make an overall plan... if you make plans on an annual basis,

your plan would fail to catch up with the changes," said Li Daokui, a prominent

economist at Tsinghua University and a member of the National Committee of the

Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), China's top

political advisory body. In an exclusive interview with the Global Times on

Wednesday night, Li, who is also a former policy advisor to China's central

bank, said that if China would be regarded as doing a good job if its economy

could return to around 6 percent growth after two to three years."
