1. As suggested by me earlier that China growth is restricted and same is also amply proved by this report from Bloomberg and Forbes and same is listed for the benefit of all and especially overseas investors looking for investments in BRICs economy.
2. Manufacturing in China, the world's fastest-growing major economy, contracted for a second straight month in August, according to a survey of purchasing managers. The Purchasing Managers' Index was a seasonally adjusted 48.4, unchanged from July, the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing said today in an e-mailed statement.

7. The growth in China is petering out and thus these overseas investors can underatke investments in India which is growing at a rapid rate with free flow of information whereas it is filtered information being delivered in China. Let us all support democracy and give credence to the movement of Tibet which China is all out to suppress.
