Policymakers say figures within reasonable range
Stock markets in Shanghai and Hong Kong closed slightly higher on Wednesday after China reported first quarter GDP growth of 7.4 percent year-on-year, beating market expectations of 7.2 to 7.3 percent.
It is the lowest quarterly growth figure since the third quarter of 2012, although there were positive data for the job market and household income.
