In China, cities such as Dongguan have seen many factories shut their doors as the Chinese economy continues to struggle. Last quarter, China reported a growth rate of only 6.8%, which is the lowest it has been since 2009. The country's growth for the year will fall just below the government's 7% target at 6.9%. This marks the country's lowest growth rate since 1990.
