7:02 am
china. now firstly, look at these energy cubs. china is trying to, aggressively made some of its climate change targets and that resulted in power shortages across the country. it's impacted some major provinces in china, and that's really had been manufacturing and productivity. secondly, we have to look at the construction industry. now this for the past decade has been a rapidly growing not very highly regulated industry here in china. the government has to use identified this industry is one full of risks and over the past year has been clamping down on that and that's affected growth. and of course, has also had this issue of ever grant, china's largest real estate developer, which over the past few months has been in hot water, is struggling to manage its $300000000000.00 worth of with a debt. it's really trying not to default on days and the case of the ground has really scared a lot of other developers as well as investors. and that's having an impact on g d

p. and we also look at the pandemic. now. china has maintained its 0 tolerance approach to curve and 19 so wherever you see these sporadic outbreaks across the country in various cities, china is still we're reacting with very severe locked downs and that's impacting domestic spending, domestic travel when, when it comes to things that china can't control, however, with the pandemic, we've got these global supply chain problems which is impacting china's exports and higher commodity prices as well. and that's all really led to this lower than expected growth. vega and katrina. what is the government saying about how worried are they? well, baiting is trying to put on a brave face that has admitted that this figure is lower than expected, but it says, however, it is still within the reasonable range of what it expected. overall trying china
7:04 am
is trying to aim for, it says higher quality growth than it has tried to point out some silver linings. earlier in today's morning press conference about the g. d. p. had said that china's employment figures remain stable. it's high tech manufacturing is improving . so the high tech industry is generating a gracious share of g d p, as, as is the green sector, which china is also really trying to burst in recent years. it says that these are all part of growing pains, and this is all within what china is trying to do, create a structural safety in its economy. and i think an analyst who i spoke to earlier said it best when she says it seems like the aging has made the trade off. it's traded off higher economic worth for financial stability. and that's why we are saying this lower than expected g d p growth. alright, thanks so much. katrina, you, their big gal is the vice president of the center for china and globalization. he
7:05 am
