China is seeing slower economic growth.
Concerns are building over a massive credit bubble, and some say it is no
longer an engine of global growth.
Excess capacity — in which demand for products is less than potential
supply — continues to be one of China's biggest problems.

concerns”，敦促中共按文明法则办事（这措辞一听就一股新加坡味）。
还好东盟有十国，柬埔寨够（肯）哥（叼）们（盘），内部大闹。东盟几小时后撤回声
