1. GDP growth
China's economy grew 6.3 percent year-on-year in the first six months of this year, in line with the government's annual target of 6 to 6.5 percent.
The economic performance was generally stable, NBS spokesman Mao Shengyong said, adding that the 6.3 percent GDP increase -- achieved amid slower global economic growth, weak expansion of international trade and domestic downward pressure -- meant China was still one of the world's fastest-growing major economies.
