rebound, an innovation shortfall may hobble sustainable growth. BusinessWeek

Note:
(a) zilch (n; origin unknown): zero
(b) Guangzhou's Devotion
(c) The adjective "tired" in the phrase "tired growth formula" is defined as
"devoid of freshness or originality: HACKNEYED <tired joke>."  Webster (3rd
ed., 1961)

My comment:
(a) If you are busy, you can skip the introduction and start, in page 2, at
this sentence: "In the past two years, Chinese steel capacity has swelled by
a third, and the mainland's idle capacity this year will nearly equal the
combined steel output of the U.S. and Japan."
(b) As for the first photograph that comes with this article, a red
suspension bridge under construction. In the print, its caption does not
explain; at the Table of Contents, however, another view of the same bridge
has this caption: "Big Spending: China's Baling River Bridge." That is 坝陵
桥 over 坝陵河 at 河南省许昌市.

innovation may point the way for all of China. BusinessWeek, Nov. 2, 2009.
