中國經濟增長速度降至三年來最低點

Chinese officials say economic growth has slumped to a three-year low, dragged down by global economic uncertainties.

The National Bureau of Statistics reported Friday that the economy grew by 7.6 percent in the second quarter of 2012, sharply slowing from a 9.7 percent growth rate in the same quarter of 2011.

The figure was the lowest recorded since the 6.1 percent increase seen in the second quarter of 2009.

Lower demand in other countries for Chinese exports as well as weak domestic demand has been blamed for weakened growth.中國官員說，受到全球經濟前景不確定的影響，中國的經濟發展速度降至三年來的最低點。

中國國家統計局星期五發表的報告顯示，中國2012年第二季度的經濟增長率爲7.6%，大大低於去年同期的9.7%。中國2009年第二季度的經濟增長率爲6.1%，今年第二季度的經濟增長率是自那時以來的最低點。

其他國家對中國出口產品的需求減少以及內需市場疲軟，是導致中國經濟增長速度減慢的原因。
