China's economy sputters with 6.2% growth in Q2

Beijing

CHINA'S economic growth slowed further in the second quarter as the year-long trade war with the United States continued to impact trade, manufacturing and consumer confidence.

The world's second-largest economy grew 6.2 per cent from April-June, its slowest growth rate on record and down from 6.4 per cent registered in the first three months of the year.
