So far the China GDP estimate for 2010 is basically correct with slightly lower GDP growth offset by the slightly stronger yuan.

There will be a business and economic data coming from the 2010 chinese census. This will be reported in mid-2011. I would expect about 3-10% adjustment/restatement of GDP to come from the new data. I expect the adjustment will shift official estimates higher.
