Macro index shows "yellow" warning for China's economy

China's macroeconomic performance index rose by four points in August, with some areas of the economy entering the more dangerous "yellow" and "red" zones, Xinhua reported (in Chinese). Among the 10 sectors of the chart, industrial output and fiscal income were labeled red, signaling that they are overheating, while residents' disposable income and consumer prices were in the yellow zone, meaning that they are growing too fast. Other sectors remained in the normal "green" area.
