China's gross domestic product (GDP) grew 4.7 percent year on year in the first half of 2026, data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed Wednesday.
The world's second-largest economy generated more than 69.57 trillion yuan (about 10.25 trillion U.S. dollars) in output during the period, Mao Shengyong, deputy head of the NBS, told a press conference in Beijing.
"In the first half of the year, China's economy withstood the pressure to keep its performance within an appropriate range. Production and supply grew rapidly; employment remained generally stable; prices rose moderately; foreign trade showed good growth momentum; new growth drivers developed rapidly; people's well-being was vigorously and effectively guaranteed; and the development continued to demonstrate strong resilience. Preliminary calculations show that the GDP for the first half of the year was 69.5704 trillion yuan, up by 4.7 percent year on year at constant prices," Mao said.
In the second quarter, China's economy expanded 4.3 percent year on year, the data showed.
