The economy began growing again in late 2001, but companies kept eliminating jobs.

In late 1992 - about 18 months after the economy began growing again - almost 50 percent gave that answer.

But as the economy began to slow in 2000, businesses cut back.

And the economy promptly began growing by close to 5 percent a year.

But then, in 2000, the economy began to go south.

Thus began a golden age of Chinese culture, economy, and military power.
