China Economy Continues to Slow

China is the world’s second-largest economy. The 6.7 growth rate was the slowest there since the start of the world financial crisis seven years ago.

中國(guó)是世界第二大經(jīng)濟(jì)體。自7年前世界經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)以來(lái)，6.7%的增速是最低的。

In the final three months of 2015, the Chinese economy grew 6.8 percent.

2015年最后一個(gè)季度，中國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)增速為6.8%。

The National Bureau of Statistics said the economy is still within range of the central government’s expectations. The official full-year target for economic growth is 6.5 to seven percent.

國(guó)家統(tǒng)計(jì)局表示該增速在中央政府的預(yù)期之內(nèi)。政府對(duì)經(jīng)濟(jì)增速的全年預(yù)測(cè)在6.5%和7%之間。

China’s GDP has averaged nearly 10 percent a year since 1978, according to the World Bank.

Economists told the Associated Press a construction slump and weak exports are reasons for the slower growth economy.
