China’s economy grows 4.5% in third quarter, staying on track for annual target

China's economy grew 4.5% in the third quarter, meeting expectations and keeping it on track to meet its annual growth target. This growth rate is in line with Beijing's goal of 4.5-5% for the year, which is a reduction from previous targets. The steady growth is a positive sign for China's economy, but it also highlights the need for the government to address weak domestic demand, which could impact future growth. This may lead to further support measures from Beijing to boost the economy.
