HONG KONG -- China's economic growth slowed to 6.7% in the second quarter, amid fears of a full-blown trade war with the U.S. began taking their toll on the world's second-largest economy.
The figure for the April to June period -- largely in line with market expectations -- is slightly slower than the 6.8% gain in the first quarter, but still above the government's full-year growth target of 6.5%.
