Gross domestic product rose by 4.6% on a yearly basis, below Beijing's "around 5%" annual target.

“The government’s growth target for this year now appears in serious jeopardy,” the former head of the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) China division, Eswar Prasad told BBC News.

“It will take a substantial stimulus-fuelled boost to growth in the fourth quarter to hit the target.”
