China Economy Contracts 9.8% QoQ in Q1
The Chinese economy shrank 6.8 percent year-on-year in the first quarter of 2020, after a 6 percent growth in the last three months of 2019 and compared with market forecasts of a 6.5 percent decline. It is the first GDP contraction since records began in 1992, reflecting the severe damage caused by the COVID-19 outbreak after the authorities enforced a near two-month-long shutdown of all non-essential business activity. The industrial sector dropped 9.6 percent, services fell 5.2 percent and the primary sector went down 3.2 percent. Car production recorded the sharpest decline (-44.6 percent). However, China's long term growth potential will not be affected by the short term fallout of the coronavirus pandemic, as the country's economic fundamentals remain unchanged, the authorities said.

China GDP Growth Rate
In China, the growth rate in GDP measures the change in the seasonally adjusted value of the goods and services produced by the Chinese economy during the quarter. As China’s traditional growth engines of manufacturing and construction are slowing down, services have emerged as the new driver. In the last few quarters strength in services and consumption helped to offset weaker manufacturing and exports. .
