Year-on-year growth in China’s gross domestic product (GDP) edged down to 6% in the third quarter from a 6.2% rise in the previous quarter, marking the lowest level in available figures dating back to 1992, according to data (link in Chinese) released Friday by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).

In the first three quarters of this year, the country’s GDP grew 6.2% year-on-year.
