China Press: GDP to pull back to 6.3% in 2019

China's economic growth rate, which hit a three-decade low in 2018, could slide further to 6.3 percent in 2019, according to China's Economic Information Daily.

The world's second-largest economy expanded 6.6 percent in 2017 - the slowest growth rate since 1990 - having expanded 6.8 percent in 2017. Chinese policymakers have pledged more support for the economy this year, but have ruled out flood-like stimulus.
