China's GDP rose 7.3 percent in the quarter to 3. This is the lowest since 2009, when the economy is still trying to recover from the global financial crisis. Growth rate is also lower than the Government's target.

Wang Dong, a professor at Peking University, said, "I think the Chinese economy ismelamban because there is a need for Chinese leaders, more concerned with the quality of growth and not quantity. I think this reasoned and here's how to redirect the economy China. "

The APEC Finance Minister's meeting this week will also discuss China's proposal forthe establishment of an Asian Development Bank, which will compete with the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank in the future. The Bank will fund developmentthroughout Asia and China lobbying other countries to add to the initial capitalpromised Beijing worth 50 billion dollars.

But the project sparked criticism from the United States Department of the Treasury, as it will minimize the influence of the World Bank and development banks Aisa.American authorities also warned the bank will have no environmental standards andother pengamaman that normally regulate the credit project by international institutions.
