China needs to adjust their official target of 6-6.5% GDP growth per year - it is completely unsustainable and has caused far too many risks to be taken in order to maintain it.

Unless they want the bubble to pop? I can't imagine the social upheaval it would cause there (and throughout the rest of the world)

Implying that China is correctly reporting their true GDP. Given how opaque their system is in general, it's hard to trust any official sources. It's likely they are ~2% lower than officially reported already.
