What does 'new normal' mean?

Consumption: Mass featureless consumption has come to an end and customized consumption is becoming mainstream.

Export and international balance: China still has competitive edge in exports; high-level imports and large-scale exports coexist.

Market competition: Quality-based differentiated competition has replaced quantity-based price competition.

Environment: Plans for green, low-carbon production and recycling will be adopted in the face of global climate change.

Investment: Infrastructure interconnection, new technology, new products and new business models have enabled massive investment opportunities.

Production: Smarter, smaller-scale professional production will gain more popularity.

Risk control: Economic risks are controllable in China, though it may take time to defuse risks caused by high leverage and asset bubbles.

Macro-regulation: The effects of massive stimulus measures are decreasing. China should digest the excess capacity while using market mechanism to explore industrial development in the future.

Production factors: Cheap labor force used to be China's biggest comparative advantage, but China's economic growth is currently more dependent on the quality of human resources and technological progress.
