Figures released this month offer a mixed message about China's economy.

On the positive side, there's robust trade data and steady growth of new credit. On the negative side, is the lowest GDP growth since the first quarter of 2009, the lowest CPI figure in nearly five years and continued deflation in the industrial sector underscoring tepid demand.

Let's look at some of the most important economic figures.

GDP

Gross domestic product (GDP) expanded 7.3 percent from a year ago in the July-September period, compared with 7.5 percent in the second quarter and 7.4 percent in the first quarter of this year.

While the growth has reached the government's target of "around 7.5 percent", there are still worries that the drop is the future trend.
