China's National Bureau of Statistics director Ning Jizhe with some comments about the data release

  • Survey shows that unemployment rate in December is under 5%
  • Urban unemployment rate in December is 4.98%
  • Economy created more than 13 million new jobs in 2017
  • Corporate debt ratio down by 0.5% y/y in 2017

In case you missed it, China released their 2017 GDP figures earlier here.

Anyway, just some general comments by the head of the NBS. Sort of like a window dressing to proceedings.
