China’s economy grew 3% last year, not even half 2021′s rate

China’s economic growth fell to 3% last year under pressure from antivirus controls and a real estate slump but is gradually reviving after restrictions that kept millions of people at home were lifted.

Growth of the world’s second largest economy slid to 2.9% over a year earlier in December from the previous month’s 3.9%, government data showed Tuesday.
