Story summary

A US think tank, the Peterson Institute for International Economics, has released a report predicting that China's economy will slow down despite solid global economic growth. According to the report, overcapacity in various industries and an ongoing slump in the property market are major factors negatively impacting domestic demand. Additionally, the report forecasts a weakening of export strength, which currently supports China’s economy. These challenges suggest that internal economic pressures will likely hinder China's economic expansion in the coming period.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
