China Q3 GDP grows 4.5% as retail sales beat forecasts

A Reddit r/investing post reports that China's economy grew 4.5% in the third quarter, putting Beijing's full-year target back within reach. The post says retail sales grew at twice the pace analysts expected and factory output was strong on foreign demand for Chinese tech goods, while the property market and cautious consumers remain drags. It also says the central bank signaled a possible shift in how it sets its main policy rate.
