31.GDP Expands 11.4 Percent, Fastest in 13 Years

China’s gross domestic product grew 11.4 percent last year and marked a fifth year of double-digit growth. The increase was especially remarkable given that the United States is experiencing a slowdown due to the sub-prime crisis and housing slump. Citigroup estimates that each 1 percent drop in the U.S. economy will shave 1.3 percent off China’s growth, because Americans are heavy users of Chinese products. In spite of the uncertainties, China is expected to post its sixth year of double-digitgrowth next year.

Source: The China Daily, January 24, 2008

Use the expenditure approach for calculating China’s GDP to explain why “each 1 percent drop in the U.S. economy will shave 1.3 percent off China’s growth.”
