it has become fashionable to dismiss the official data. at is your data on the ground telling us and how does it differ from the official data? is we first thing we do don't offer a gdp number, we think it is a bad lens to -- it is not effective growth, even if the number was real. we saw significant weakening in the fourth quarter and 2015 was the weakest data we have seen in the history of the survey from a growth perspective, the inflation data was week, we are not seeing this tepid showing. betty: does the fact that the economy lost the mountain at the end of 2015 tell us anything? trend, itner is not a may be the beginning of a story, it may not be, but the story for the last two years has been that you have a slowdown with --bility and the slowdown the stability part of that, a labor market that was relatively picturet, and inflation that is relatively beneficial despite the exhilaration and growth, we do not see those factors in the fourth quarter. betty: does that mean it is inevitable that we will see more stimulus out of china and

the risk the policymakers have is growing questions in the market, like the credibility of the official datamarket is paying more attention to private numbers and indexes created by independent economists. are much morehese negative than the official state data. data is going to be showing a moderate slowdown and gdp growth moving toward 6.5%. we expect the market to pay more attention to these unofficial, independent private measures of have a much more negative story. francine: thank you so much. we talked a little bit about china at the beginning of the show given what tom just highlighted and that we are talking about mistakes, what do they have to get right? thatey have to make sure the money they are pumping into the economy does reach the real sector of the economy, which is not happening at the moment. so far, the results are underwhelming. they areme time, risking a slowdown in manufacturing. it will get worse from here. are behind the curve, that is the biggest concern. far, there is a change perception. francine: i read some research they are going to zero bound. would that make y

that was boosting fears that the slowdown in the country is way deeper than official data suggests. joining me now on the phone in beijing is our beijing bureau chief, nick wadhams. they announced this on webo. why are they suspending these circuit breakers? >> it was pretty clear this wasn't working. the circuit breaker was set up so trading suspense after a 7% drop. but what was happening was that once you started to get to the 3% or 4% drop, that was creating panic. terrified about the circuit breaker kicking in so they wanted to sell all their positions before it hit. so that just only encourage stocks default even further. it was clear they had to make a move to make some changes. betty: what happened here? we are all trying to figure out, what is this panic selling about? >> that's a very good question. on the one hand, it's a question of whether there really is panic selling. because this is a very volatile market. we looked at the data in the last year. had beenrcuit breaker in effect, the market would have been suspended something like 25 times. betty: wow. >> moves like th

and that contrasted with a non- manufacturing data that came out several days ago that was the official datarom the government. it calls into question to the credibility or the reliability of the government data. today's data certainly shows the deterioration in the services government is,he uh, focusing on as a way to shift away from their export-based economies. francine: thank you so much for all the insight. now, jonathan bell is still with us, our guest host. we touched on china a little bit. you were saying this is market movement. this is a correction or also circuit breakers. how worried are you about fundamentals? are we going to see more volatility? jonathan: there are a number of issues. the fall on monday was as much about people testing the circuit breakers, about looking forward to people selling. the yuan move i think is part of a gradual depreciation, which started in june last year. depreciation7% since then. over the next year, we will see another depreciation. you're looking at onshore and offshore, that is what the gap it telling you. francine: we can see the five-year do

scarlet: there is so much data out there about china, but the official data that is always being toutedknow you guys have done some proprietary work on it -- you also point to other country's data. german exports don't lie, right? >> that's right. numbersar that the gdp are not necessarily spot on. there is a political objective, but when you crosscheck on all the important data -- you guys have done this -- the numbers are not significantly off. then you do a double check on export numbers, and that is ok. so i don't think the story of a slow down israel. alix: are you a china bowl or a china disbeliever of negativity? >> [laughter] out, ilook five years would bet my money that china has grown more than 3%. a very fundamental issue on demographics that means that they will slow down, and they don't appreciate that fact. then they are fighting it. the problem that makes the most nervous is that as we fight it, many of the instruments they use, particularly the lending numbers, actually increase the bubble. that increases the probability that the slowdown will be abrupt. alix: the debt b
