CHINA Q2 GDP RISES 6.9%, BEATING EXPECTATIONS|中國第二季經濟成長率6.9% 優於預期

China's economy is a lot more resilient than the West thinks as it grew gross at 6.9% in the second quarter, the same figure as the previous quarter and marginally higher than most forecasts. But China's speedy growth will be difficult to sustain in the months to come, analysts say, as the government focuses on tightening the property market and controlling the ballooning debt. The Chinese government announced last week it would change the way it calculated economic growth for the first time in 15 years, adding healthcare, tourism and the "new economy" to the overall figure. It was not clear whether those additions had an impact on growth. TRANSLATED BY：JOHN CHEN 中國統計局，今天公布第二季GDP，比去年同期成長6.9%，優於市場以及官方、原先預估的6.8%跟6.5%。 受到工業生產回溫，以及消費、投資強勁等因素影響。中國第二季國內生產毛額，年成長率達到6.9%，跟第一季相同。中國統計局表示，整體來看，前半年經濟保持在合理區間，穩中向好態勢明顯。市場分析師則認為，中國上半年的經濟成長，主要受惠出口復甦，及房地產營建激增，不過中共19大召開前，施政重點擺在抑制房價過熱，及債務快速飆升，可能會影響下半年的成長動能。中國官方把2017年、全年GDP成長目標，設定在6.5%。
