China Q2 growth flat www3.nhk.or.jp
China's gross domestic product rose 6.7 percent in the April to June quarter from a year earlier. Growth from the previous quarter was flat.
The National Bureau of Statistics on Friday released key economic figures for the second quarter.
Analysts say private-sector industries, such as steel, are making less money, and that they have slowed investment as they try to trim excess capacity.
But the government boosted demand by spending more on infrastructure in an effort to support the economy.
Last year, Chinese officials looked for GDP growth of around 7 percent. This year, they are targeting 6.5 to 7.
