Jiang Yiren, Member of the Standing Committee of 11th CPPCC National Committee declared that he is confident `that we are in a position to sustain high economic growth.’ ‘The economy’s growth rate over the medium term will be determined in large part by how fast Chinese households increase their spending, now that consumers overseas can no longer be relied upon to buy China-made goods,’ said Levin Zhu, Chief Executive Officer, China International Capital Corporation (CICC), China. ‘But it matters too for China’s relationship with the rest of the world, particularly the United States,’ added Zhou Jianping, Chairman, China Heilan Group, China. Miguel Sebastián, Minister of Industry, Trade and Tourism, Spain, said: `Economic and commercial relations between China and Spain have been growing steadily. Last few years have seen substantial growth in the trade relations between the two countries.´
