NEW YORK, Sept. 21 (Xinhua) -- U.S. financial service agency S&P's decision to downgrade China's credit ratings will have little impact on investor sentiment as it underestimates the country's capacity to curb debt risks and deepen economic reform, experts have said.

Khoon Goh, head of Asia Research at Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited, said, "There shouldn't be much impact judging from the market reaction following the Moody's downgrade a few months back."
