Abstract
This study uses China's quarterly GDP data from the first quarter of 2001 to the first quarter of 2018 to create a set of data that includes the mean non-linear MS (M) - AR (p) models of the “form” and “intercept form” of the Chinese macroeconomic time series. The study also finds that China's GDP is most likely to be in a “low-growth zone” and least likely to be in a “medium-growth zone”. The study finds that China's GDP is most likely to be in a “low growth zone” and least likely to be in a “medium growth zone”. The likelihood of China being in a “fast-growth zone” is moderate. If China succeeds in entering a high growth state, it will tend to maintain a good growth trend, but once it falls into a low growth state, it will tend to maintain a good growth trend. It will face very serious economic recovery challenges.
