Just as Goldman Sachs was seen as providing a ray of light for Wall Street, optimists are busily touting China as a spot of cheer in a recessionary world. Sure, the world's third-biggest economy unveiled a further slowing in economic growth, to 6.1 per cent in the first quarter over the year-ago period. But that marks a stabilisation of sorts, with the deceleration in annual growth rates falling sharply. Better still was the accompanying slew of perky March data.
