    China's reported 6.6% growth rate still continues to defy what is usual for economies with similar income-levels....pic.twitter.com/FcWDNZS89A

        Shouldn't the x-axis show per-capita GDP in 2005? Or else the y-axis should show growth now.

        Almost like they aren’t being honest with numbers. Of course that couldn’t be it!

        What on Earth kind of best-fit line is that? A simple linear relationship would fit that data as well. No need to let you children annotate the graphs...

        Not really. Much of China is still pretty much a peasant economy of small agriculture. Cities are richer but countryside poor. Most of the population still lives in the country. As it moves up from its base, growth is slowing. Also, much of the growth is down to government spend

        For goodness sake, look at #Baseeffect. If you want to do a real comparison, compare countries GDP growth rate when they had similar per capita GDP. @s1moncox
