China's economy to maintain steady growth: China top leadership
China's top leadership says they believe the country's economy will maintain steady growth in the second half of this year.
However, they did admit it is facing "extremely complicated domestic and international conditions".

The statement issued following the meeting contends major economic indicators1 are within "reasonable ranges" in the first half.
