The Chinese economy grew 10.3 per cent in the first quarter of this year, a tenth of a percentage point higher than what had been earlier reported by the National Bureau of Statistics.
A circular released by the bureau last Tuesday said that China's gross domestic product (GDP) in the first three months had reached 4.339 trillion yuan (US$542 billion), 7.7 billion yuan (US$962 million) more than data released last month showed. The preliminary check was made according to the statistics bureau's GDP accounting and releasing procedures, said the circular.
