Economists laud China’s potential  

经济学家解读“中国路径”：经济动能还将持续

“毫无疑问，中国经济的动能还将持续”，美国约翰霍普金斯大学教授彼得？博特里尔接受中新社记者采访时表示，中国正站在新机会的起点上，但也面临艰难挑战。

Beijing (CNS) -- Foreign economists attending the International Finance Forum (IFF) on Sunday agreed that China's economy has great potential and that the growth of its dynamic economy would continue.

Pieter Bottelier, an economist at Johns Hopkins University who is familiar with China, said the country's economy has a growing global influence.

In response to the prediction by the Ministry of Commerce that domestic demand would exceed investment to become the main economic drive, Bottelier said China will see positive developments in its economic transformation. He said that China, with renewed strength in the next decade, would be as large an economy as the U.S.

Domingo Felipe Cavallo, Argentina's former economy minister, said the emerging economies, especially China, would become a global growth pole.

China has great potential in the next ten years, said Changyong Rhee, chief economist at the Asian Development Bank.
