Chinese business owners and consumers told The New York Times they're concerned about the economy. China is dealing with declines in manufacturing and trade as well as record-high youth unemployment. Larry Summers said last week China's economic proespects had been "greatly exaggerated" in the past. Summers said China's economic prospects, previously considered very good, had been "greatly exaggerated," and that he think the US gross domestic product "will exceed China's for another generation." The Times reported consumers and business owners in China were worried because they could not see how the economic downturn would end.
