The slowdown of China's economy against the backdrop of a trade war between the US and China has become an obvious fact that will affect global growth, Bloomberg writes.

This suggests that the stage of the highest growth in many years can be completed. The Chinese economy in the second quarter increased by 6.7%, showing the lowest rate since 2016.
