China's gross domestic product in the second quarter grew 9.5 per cent from a year earlier, above market estimates for a 9.3 percent rise. It was the eighth straight quarter of annual growth over 9 percent.

"There are still some problems in the economy that policy makers need to address," he added.
Wednesday's data showed growth still being fueled by an export boom, a sensitive political issue between China and the United States.
The strength of the economy may reinforce the conviction of critics in Washington and elsewhere that the yuan's peg of 8.28 to the dollar is un fairly low, but analysts discerned no new trends in the data to add urgency to the currency reform. debate.
"This data shouldn't have any implications for a yuan revaluation. That's another story," said Yasuo Sone, an economist with Nomura Inter national in Hong Kong.
A ______rise of industrial output had been expected of the second quarter.
