She said experts are watching " external demand" for exports, which has not yet fully recovered.

她说，专家们正在观察尚未完全恢复的出口" 外部需求" 。

While many have pointed to weak external demand as the primary cause of recent growth woes, domestic demand has also fallen short.

虽然很多人将矛头指向疲软的外部需求，认为这是近期经济增长问题的主因，但国内需求也未能达标。

In the face of weakening external demand and sluggishness in the global economy, China needs to fully tap the potential of its domestic consumption to shore up its economic growth this year, he added.

他指出，面对外部需求疲软和全球经济低迷的现实，中国需要充分挖掘国内消费潜力来支撑今年的经济增长。
