Chinese economy shows pleasant growth last year

Talking about the numbers at face value, the economic growth rate in 2017 is China’s highest increment in two years. And it indicates that for the first time the economy has increased faster than the last year since 2010.

However, as Beijing shows efforts to reduce the risky debt and meanwhile increase air quality, some analysts told that this may impact the growth of 2018.

The figures released on Thursday, also represented that in previous three months of 2017, the Chinese economy increased at an annual rate of 6.8 % which is higher than the analysts had been expecting.
