Ship on course, sir. We'll reach D.C. point at 17 01.

Containing China s Slowdown

D.C. stations. On the double.

D.C. set and punched on, skipper.

All hands squared away to decelerate.

By how much less is it expanding today, compared to, say, a couple of billion years ago?

When do we get a D.C. fix, Jerry?

It's a dot! It's a dot, a dot!

It's, it's a dot!

It's a dot, a dot!

And, in our globally integrated world, the slowdown in Europe will exacerbate the slowdown in the US, and vice versa.

But it is not just the slowdown that has the skeptics worked up.

An economic slowdown will exacerbate all our financial problems.

In China, the economic slowdown underway is unmistakable.

The impending global slowdown has intensified protectionist pressures.

It is subject to what Milton Friedman called long and variable lags.

Within China, the current slowdown is mostly homemade.

SHANGHAI Everyone is talking about China s economic slowdown.

And, in this kind of cauldron of moments and places and acts of deceleration,

That's our starting y point, over our finishing x point minus our starting x point.

So this is an inflection point.

The slowdown forecast for 2005 2006 is similar to that expected at the end of 2004, with the deterioration almost entirely concentrated in the developed countries.

So let's just make this over here our starting point and make that our ending point.

Population growth has been slowing since the late 1960 s.

Libya s new leaders suffer from something worse than foot dragging.

And EDL itself is all over in a matter of seven minutes.

Or, we can view it as the y value of our end point minus the y value of our starting point over the x value of our end point minus the x value of our starting point.

Select the point which might have the same distance from two other points...

0 is a critical point.
