--FILE--Chinese workers assemble a car on the assembly line at the auto plant of the Dongfeng Nissan Dalian Branch Company of Dongfeng Motor Co. Ltd, a joint venture between Nissan and Dongfeng Motors in Dalian city, northeast Chinas Liaoning province, 18 October 2014. China's economy grew at its slowest pace in more than five years in the third quarter, official statistics showed Tuesday (21 October 2014), but the data still topped estimates. Gross domestic product (GDP) growth for the July-September quarter came in at 7.3 percent from the year-ago period, beating a Reuters forecast for a 7.2 percent expansion and after the 7.5 percent growth in the second quarter. This is the slowest reading since the first quarter of 2009, when China's growth rate slumped to 6.6 percent amid the depths of the global financial crisis. In comments following the data release, Sheng Laiyun, spokesman of the National Bureau of Statistics, said the economic slowdown was due to structural reforms in the nation, a sagging housing market and higher comparison figures from a year ago, but noted that growth stayed in a "reasonable range."
