BEIJING (Reuters) - Analysts are slashing their growth forecasts for China to lows not seen since the Cultural Revolution ended in 1976, as the coronavirus pandemic takes its toll on the world's second largest economy.

Most analysts now expect negative growth in the first quarter, with projections dropping sharply after dismal activity data for the January and February period was released Monday.

Most full year GDP forecasts are also now well below last year's growth of 6.1%.
