New normal is the general logic of China's economic work at present and in the years ahead. The stage of new normal calls for changes in speed of growth, economic structure and growth drivers, namely, the change from high speed to medium-to-high speed, the change from low-and-medium end to medium-and-high end, and the change from old growth drivers to new growth drivers.
