"Well, few countries do a good job of transitioning to slower growth.
The Chinese have been trying to slow things down for a while, so anybody
who is not aware that China has been trying to engineer a slowdown
should be reading the papers more, or reading the Internet more.
They have had an inflation problem and they have had a property problem.
They know it and they’re trying to do something about it. China has
been slowing, but this is not the least bit unusual.
I would remind you that what is unusual is that China hasn’t had more
economic problems in the last decade or two. I would remind you that as
America rose to power, we had 15 Depressions; we had very few human
rights; we had very little rule of law; we had massacres in the streets;
we had a horrible civil war." - in ETF.com
