[BEIJING] China's state planner said on Thursday it had approved 17 fixed-asset investment projects in July, worth a combined 77.69 billion yuan (S$15.5 billion).
The Chinese government is expediting plans to invest billions of dollars in infrastructure projects as its economy shows signs of cooling further, with investment growth slowing to a record low and consumers becoming more cautious.
