2012年7月,国家统计局如期公布了GDP数据。按可比价格计算,上半年中国GDP同比增长7.8%,其中第二季度增速为7.6%,这是GDP增速连续六个季度的回落,并创下十三个季度以来的新低。这一消息公布后,立即引发国内外对中国经济的担忧,相关讨论不绝于耳。一个GDP数据,为何引来外界如此多关注,这需要从GDP数据本身的含义说起。 In July 2012, the National Bureau of Statistics released the GDP data as scheduled. On comparable prices, China’s GDP grew by 7.8% YoY in the first half of the year, of which, the growth rate in the second quarter was 7.6%. This is a continuous drop of six consecutive quarters of GDP growth and the lowest level in 13 quarters. After the announcement of the news, immediately aroused domestic and foreign concerns about the Chinese economy, the relevant discussions are endless. A GDP data, why attracted so much attention from the outside world, which need to start from the meaning of GDP data itself.
