    CHINA'S economy grew faster than expected in the second quarter, propped up by a credit binge and a strong property market.

    Nonetheless, economists warn that investment in the private sector has failed to keep up and will weigh on growth in the following quarters. The property sector has also shown signs of weakness, with the rise in prices slowing in June.
