Extract

The increase of 13·5 per cent in 1978 masks a remarkable slowdown in the rate of industrial growth in China. The data in Table 1 suggest that the gross value of industrial output (GVIO) has been growing at an annual rate of less than 5 per cent since the end of 1977 – which is less than half the average annual rate projected for the 10–Year Plan period (1976–85).
