China's GDP growth is expected to slow even further in the fourth quarter, as COVID-19 outbreaks across the country, power shortages, surging raw material prices and property jitters continue to weigh on activity, adding pressure on policymakers to do more to support the economy.

Analysts say the government will need to ease fiscal and monetary policies to prop up demand while ensuring that the measures don't derail its efforts to curb carbon emissions and resolve long-standing problems such as the overheated housing market, and high corporate and local government debt.
