　　Here’s what you need to know about China in the past 24 hours 中国经济要闻

　　Several Chinese provincial-level regions achieved robust GDP growth in the first three quarters of 2023, offering more signs of a continuous solid recovery in the world's second-largest economy. 

　　Of the 21 provinces that have released their GDP figures for the first three quarters, 13 saw their GDP numbers exceed the 5.2 percent national average growth rate.

　　South China's Hainan province registered a 9.5 percent growth－the highest among these regions, followed by Inner Mongolia at 7.2 percent, Gansu province at 6.6 percent and Sichuan province at 6.5 percent.

　　Another highlight was growth of 5.3 percent in Northeast China's Liaoning Province, which has seen sustained downward pressure in recent years. This also marks the first time in ten years that the province's GDP growth exceeded the "national line" during the same period.

　　In terms of economic aggregate, South China's Guangdong province, an economic powerhouse, recorded 9.62 trillion yuan in its GDP and took the top spot. The GDP of Shandong and Zhejiang provinces reached 6.81 trillion yuan and 5.92 trillion yuan, ranking second and third, respectively.

　　Overall, accelerating growth in provincial-level regions pointed to the sustained recovery of the Chinese economy, highlighted various aspects of China's high-quality development, analysts said.

　　Hainan's fast growth, for instance, underscored benefits from high-level opening-up, as the free trade port opened up more sectors and improved its business environment to attract global investors. Meantime, the added value of Guangdong’s advanced manufacturing grew by 4.5 percent, with that of high-end equipment jumping 6.4 percent.

　　According to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, China's GDP grew by 5.2 percent to 91.3 trillion yuan in the January-September period after a 5.5 percent growth in the first half.

　　In light of better-than-expected growth in the third quarter, many foreign institutions including JP Morgan, Citigroup and Nomura have raised their forecasts for China's growth rate in 2023.
