A slowing Chinese economy and an ongoing government shutdown in the United States have some experts worried about possible damage to the world economy. China’s economic slowdown has been a major discussion at this year’s World Economic Forum, which began Monday in Davos, Switzerland. The Chinese economy grew 6.6 percent in 2018, its slowest rate in 28 years. Fears about China’s slowing economy have been worsened by its trade war with the United States. But Chinese officials have said the country’s slowdown will not lead to wide trouble. Fang Xinghai, who is with China’s Securities Regulatory Commission, said China may be slowing down “but it’s not going to be a disaster.” Fang also told international leaders gathered in Davos that the structure of the Chinese government, where the central, communist party holds so much control, makes fixing the economy easier.
