Gross domestic product in the world's second-largest economy expanded by 9.7 per cent in the first three months of the year, the National Bureau of Statistics said.

All pakistanis are right except one thing i.e Chinese people are honest.Whole world knows how honest they are.But I do agree with the fact that they are hard working.It is asian culture.chinese products are not of high quality like japanese products or western products and It is also due the chinese culture and they don't stress on quality.Even I can say Pak products are of better quality than chinese products,though pak can't be compared with chinese scale.Sometimes it is better to accept the truth.
