Record number of visitors at Chinaplas / Processing sector focuses on sustainability/ Difficult market

摘要

There is no end in sight to the boom in the People's Republic, although economic growth has slowed somewhat compared to the record levels of the past. China's economy is expected to grow by almost 8% in 2012 - which would make this year the slowest in economic terms since 1990. The slowdown notwithstanding, Chinese premier Wen Jiabao is convinced that the country's economy will continue to grow. Speaking at the world's leading technology event, the "Hannover Messe", he dismissed concerns about a downturn, adding that China's industry will continue on its fast-track and catch up to other countries, especially in terms of technology. The official partner country this year, China's presence in Hannover is presented under the umbrella of "Green + Intelligence", with a focus on modernisation and sustainability.
