BEIJING, Oct. 18 (Xinhua) -- China's value-added industrial output, an important economic indicator, went up 11.8 percent in the first three quarters, data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed Monday.

The figure puts average Jan.-Sept. growth for the past two years at 6.4 percent, the NBS said.
