Moxian, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOXC) Positioned to Profit from China’s Economic Shift

China’s booming economy has delivered consumer product companies some of the world’s greatest growth opportunities over the last 20 years. However, the government recently lowered its official five-year annual GDP growth target to 6.5 percent, the slowest targeted growth since the 2008 global financial crisis.
