"China's GDP has broken through the 90 trillion RMB mark for the first time, with the high-tech industry's proportion of output value soaring rapidly."
On April 11, the National Bureau of Statistics finally released last year's economic data report.
It was supposed to be published at the end of February or early March, but due to the chaotic timing of various major plans last year, the Bureau took an extra month to sort it out.
Lin Ju browsed through the emails pushed by the internal reference website, finding the data consistent with external sources, but some analyses were more detailed and comprehensive.
In 2017, the GDP reached 92.3 trillion RMB, about 12.4 trillion US dollars, with a per capita income of 65,500 RMB and a growth rate exceeding 16%.
By comparison, America's figure also hit a new high, reaching an astonishing 21.8 trillion US dollars, which compared to last year's 19.6 trillion, also achieved a growth rate of 11%.
