China's Commodity Demand May Bump Up

By David Hannon -- Purchasing, 11/13/2008 7:00:00 AM

The efforts of the Chinese government could push China's demand for commodities up in 2009 more than expected, says an economist at mining giant Rio Tinto. Vivek Tulpule told Bloomberg he expects the Chinese economy will accelerate in 2009 as briskly as 9%. "Chinese economic growth has slowed not because of what is happening in the West, but because of the credit constraints and the credit crunch the Chinese imposed on themselves," Tulpule said.
