NEW YORK Balenciaga Speed Trainer Sock Race Runners Blanche Pas Cher , Jan. 9 (Xinhua) -- China has the potential to maintain an annual economic growth rate of 6 percent until the 2030s, said former senior vice president and chief economist of the World Bank Justin Lin Yifu Tuesday.
Lin, also the honorary dean of National School of Development at Peking University, made the remarks while delivering a keynote speech during the "Forecast: China's Economy 2018," an event hosted by the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations and Peking University's China Center for Economic Research in New York.
He attributed his confidence in the Chinese economy to the fact that "China's labor productivity will improve continuously in the years to come."
The economist explained that the way to maintain economic growth is to improve labor productivity Balenciaga Speed Trainer Knit High Blanche Pas Cher , and the way to raise labor productivity is to "have technology innovation as well as industrial upgrading."
Lin said that compared to developed countries like the United States, China, as a developing economy, has the so-called "latecomer advantage" in terms of technology innovation and industrial upgrading.
He further stated that developing countries like China can "learn technology that has been matured in high-income countries," so that "the cost and risks of innovation are comparably low Balenciaga Speed Trainer Sock Race Runners Noir Pas Cher , and potentially, developing countries can grow more dynamically than high-income countries."
According to Lin, China has benefited from the "latecomer advantage" in the past 40 years and achieved an annual growth rate of 9.6 percent, which was hailed as a miracle by many all over the world.
For the years to come, he predicted that China will continue to maintain a faster growth rate compared to developed countries.
To further illustrate his prediction Balenciaga Speed Trainer Knit High Noir Blanche Pas Cher , Lin cited his latest study of the world economy in the past 70 years, pointing out that "In 2008, the per capita GDP of China was 21 percent of the United States, which was similar to Japan in 1951, Singapore in 1967 Balenciaga Triple S Basse Top Grise Rouge Pas Cher , China's Taiwan in 1975 and South Korea in 1977."
"The four economies above all achieved an annual growth rate of 8 percent to 9 percent continuously over the next 20 years, which indicates that China can achieve around an 8 percent growth rate continuously from 2008 to 2028," said Lin.
He added that real economic growth will depend on how much China carries out current reforms to ensure social and political stability as well as on the global economic situation.
"From my observation, it is very likely that China will be able to achieve a 6 percent growth rate from now until around the 2030s," Lin noted.
The Kremlin said on Tuesday a call by opposition leader Alexei Navalny to boycott next year's presidential election must be checked to see if it complies with the law.
Navalny called on Monday for a boycott of the March 18 election after Russia's central election commission ruled he was not eligible to run for president due to a suspended prison sentence hanging over him.
"The calls for a boycott will require scrupulous study Homme Balenciaga Triple S Basse Top Noir Pas Cher , to see whether or not they comply with the law," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on a conference call.
Declining to comment on the election commission's decision, Peskov shrugged off allegations that the presidential poll would be a farce without Navalny.
"The fact that one of the would-be candidates is not taking part has no bearing on the election's legitimacy," said Peskov.
Navalny, a 41-year-old lawyer Femme Balenciaga Triple S Basse Top Noir Blanche Pas Cher , has repeatedly said the suspended sentence handed to him in an embezzlement case was politically motivated.
On Monday Navalny said millions of voters would be disenfranchised without his participation in the election, which opinion polls show incumbent Vladimir Putin winning comfortably.
The European Union also questioned the Russian election commission's decision to bar Navalny.
"[It] casts a serious doubt on political pluralism in Russia and the prospect of democratic elections next year," the EU's External Action Service said in a statement on Tuesday.
"Politically motivated charges should not be used against political participation," it said, urging Moscow to ensure a "level playing field" for all Russian elections.
Putin has dominated Russia's political landscape for the last 17 years and if Balenciaga Speed Trainer Rouge Pas Cher , as expected, he wins next year's election,he would be eligible to serve another six years until 2024.
Allies laud Putin as a father-of-the-nation figure who has restored national pride and expanded Moscow's global clout with interventions in Syria and Ukraine.
Navalny says he could defeat Putin in a fair election, an assertion Putin's supporters have laughed off.
Navalny has been jailed three times this year and charged with breaking the law for organizing public meetings and rallies designed to bolster his presidential campaign.

This Is Us is gearing up for its biggest episode ever — yes, the one in which you apparently will find out how Jack Pearson died. Now comes news that the NBC family drama’s biggest episode will be its longest ever. By a little bit.
The pivotal installment — which airs Feb. 4 in the highly coveted post-Super Bowl slot — will run approximately three minutes longer than a normal episode. (No Balenciaga Speed Trainer Grise Pas Cher , it’s not a lot longer, but approximately three extra minutes of crying is at least something.) You will notice that the episode will be scheduled on your DVR listings as beginning at 10:15 p.m. ET7:15 p.m. PT and running 80 minutes in length, but that extra time was provided as a buffer, given the uncertainty of when the game will end. Following the episode and late local news, The Tonight Show will welcome the stars of This Is Us.
The Super Bowl episode is the family drama’s most-anticipated (or dreaded) episode to date. Last week’s installment — the last one that will air.
