BlackRock sees slowing China growth in 2018 - "still-solid and more sustainable"

From BlackRock Global Chief Investment Strategist Richard Turnill

His main points:

• China's growth is set to cool in 2018
• Economic risks are rising
• Yet we believe the key party congress this week will likely serve as a prelude for deeper reforms
• We see China's growth rate slowing only to still-solid and more sustainable levels
• Growth in China should remain supportive of emerging market (EM) assets and risk assets in general
