One Turn
China's economy grows 4.5% in third quarter on AI-driven exports
China's GDP grew 4.5% year on year in July-September, beating forecasts as demand for electronics lifted exports and factory output. Consumer spending remained sluggish, and trade tensions cloud the outlook.
Why it matters
Stronger Chinese growth may let Beijing hold off on further stimulus, affecting global demand.
Background
China has relied on exports to offset weak household spending and a property slump. Global AI investment has boosted demand for its electronics.
