From BBC NEWS: China’s breakneck growth has continued into 2005 despite official efforts to take the economy off the boil.
The latest figures show the Chinese economy was 9.5% bigger at the end of March than a year earlier.
The expansion matches the wildfire pace of 2004, and remains well ahead of the official target of 8%.
The government has been clamping down on both consumer and business credit, but now says it needs even tighter controls on investment.
China has now been growing at an annual rate of more than 9% since the start of 2003.
