Growing pains

Could you explain “growing pains”?

My comments:

Children sometimes complain of pain in their joints and limbs. As they suffer no apparent illness, parents call this “growing pains”, telling the children that they are simply growing too fast.

Hence figuratively speaking, when an economy such as China’s grows at a very rapid pace, anomalies abound due to lack of regulations and lax enforcements of them, corruption and so forth.

Hence, it is unsurprising to hear top officials say what they say in the example from above.

In other words, foreign firms doing business in China sometimes have to share the consequences of China’s rapid economic growth, not just cornering markets and garnering profits.

In other words, no pain, no gain.

Fleeting acquaintance

Right down the middle

Take my word for it

Last but not the least

Call balls and strikes

Shove it under the carpet

the sky is the limit

hit it off

get my rib in my heart
