The National Bureau of Statistics released China's Q3 statistics yesterday, revealing that the country's economy rose by 3.9 percent year-on-year. Positive indicators such as consumption and infrastructure investment reflected the resilience and vitality of the Chinese economy, experts said.

As China has actively promoted infrastructure construction projects, the growth of infrastructure investment is expected to accelerate. Moreover, the strong growth of financial credit data also indicates further strengthening of investment momentum, Economic Information Daily reported on Tuesday.
