BEIJING, Oct. 21 (UPI) -- China's gross domestic product grew more slowly in the third quarter of 2014 than in the past five years, it reported Tuesday.
The growth rate of 7.3 percent, while still strong, is lower than the 7.5 percent growth reported in the previous quarter. The slowdown comes in the midst of an Asian financial crisis, a low rate of inflation and a slow housing market in China.
