The Chinese economy advanced 6.0% year-on-year in the December quarter of 2019, the same as in the previous quarter. This remained the weakest growth rate since the first quarter of 1992, amid trade pressure from the US and sluggish demand from home and abroad. Considering full 2019, the economy grew by 6.1%, the slowest pace in 29 years but still within the government’s target of 6 to 6.5%.
