The nation needs a new prescription for growth: Cram even more people into the pollution-ridden megacities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
China's 10-year government bonds rose, with the yield falling the most in a month, on speculation the central bank will add more funds to the financial system to bolster economic growth.
The cost of locking in Chinese borrowing costs is poised to drop below the central bank's savings benchmark for the first time since 2012 as speculation mounts that interest rates will be cut.
Editor's Note: Figures released last week on China's foreign trade, inflation and new credit offered a mixed message about the economy. On the positive side was robust trade data and steady growth of new credit. On the negative side, the lowest CPI figure in nearly five years and continued deflation in the industrial sector underscored tepid demand. These statistics increased the difficulty of giving appropriate prescriptions, especially about whether the government should do more to shore up growth. Several leading analysts and economists give their assessments here.
