There was a time when the health of the global economy was determined by the status of the US economy. Now, everyone looks east and it’s China that sets the tone.
So it’s reassuring to see clear positive signs in the Chinese economy this week. Factory output in the world’s second-largest market is up 10.4% from last year this time, while there are indications that retail sales and fixed asset investments also rose during the month.
Economists are buoyed by the signs as China has been trying to boost its economy after two sluggish (by Chinese standards!) quarters in a row.

| "Muddy fluid can mean many things. Generally, if its just dark, then you just change it and clean the sump screen and change the filter.
Now if its muddy as in dark brown and exceptionally thick or has visible material in it, then you have bigger problems usually pertaining the clutch packs.".
swoop223, United States | "I have a LIFTER LX12/15 with a problem. The traction responce is very slow. Is there any way i can adjust the acceleration?".
tasos_t, Greece | "In the USA there is very little that can be done about someone's specious claims (like 'we have the experience to help you reduce your liability', when really their 'experience' involved working for a company that went out of business due to the expense of not reducing their liability) where in the EU and UK, such a claim may be likely to have some proof behind it, in the USA, if you asked to openly provide such proof could get you sued in a SLAPP type lawsuit.
