From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Strong Rise in GNP Reported: China’s gross national product rose to $314 billion between January and September, an increase of 10.6% over the same 1991 period, the State Statistical Bureau said. “Overall, economic performance is showing fast production, fast growth of demand and better circulation,” said Zhang Zhongji, a bureau spokesman. The current rate of 10.6% matches the government’s original estimate for the first half of 1992, a figure that was later revised to 12% after more statistics came in.
