National Bureau of Statistics spokesman Xing Zhihong news conference comments:

  • Says China's property risks have been effectively resolved
  • Destocking efforts in third- and fourth-tier cities achieving results
  • Thus, China's economy will maintain steady and improving momentum, with economic growth still within a reasonable range
