Hurdles to growth

During a rare online discussion with netizens on Wednesday, top legislators correctly pinpointed the declining share of individual income in GDP as the main culprit that has hindered consumption growth in China.

By enabling timely exchange of views between legislators and those whom they represent, introduction of such online discussions will surely add to the relevance of legislative work concerning issues of great public concern.

It is even more reassuring to know that top legislators have demonstrated deep understanding of the fundamental problems that can undermine economic recovery at the moment and change of growth pattern in the long run.
