China’s “good start” to 2024 is already showing signs it could be running out of steam. While Beijing unveiled better-than-expected GDP growth on Tuesday, statisticians also reported underwhelming figures for March, showing the world’s second largest economy is still struggling with a property crisis and a slump in consumer confidence.
