"Growth momentum" isn't a thing, and more over China's growth is slowing. This would be wholly expected under normal circumstances because it's no longer a developing economy, it's a developed economy - the absurd GDP growth rates it had are won off the fact that industrialization is an enormous, enormous change in productivity but you only get to do it once.

So industrialization is a binary bit? You just “do” it and it’s over? Not a very convincing take imo.

Industrialization, like deindustrialization, is a continuous process. Every industry suffers from depreciation and decay which means that pace of industrialization per unit time matters.
