Psssshhhtttt, they're used to far more embarrassing things than that by now, especially when it comes to predicting China. If they had a shred of dignity left after being wrong on China every year, month, day, for decades at a time, it wouldn't even sneeze at seeing China pull over 5.5% this year. They'll pretend they never said it; they'll say some unexpecting circumstance kicked in; they'll say that's the slowest China has grown other than COVID year itself. They'd be happy to be see China under 6%; that's under par for how wrong they usually are. Hell, they probably have excuses all lined up for if China pulls another 8+% LOL. China has made them numb and incapable of feeling embarrassment by now.If China manages to hit >5.5% growth, that would be a big embarrassment for these so-called professionals
