The Chinese economy slowed last quarter, mainly due to one-off shocks, mostly on the supply side.
The fundamentals point to a recovery this quarter but unquantifiable risks (i.e. the "unknown unknowns") are rising that could undermine investment and consumer spending and so threaten growth.
That requires more of a policy response than the authorities are currently prepared to make.
