HINA’S economic growth held steady 2Q economic growth steady, in the most recent quarter, suggesting Cpolicies meant to counter the slowdown in the world’s se- signaling stabilization cond biggest economy are paying off for the moment. The economy expanded at a 6.7 percent annual pace in the April-June period compared AP PHOTO with a year earlier, according to data released Friday that generally matched expecta- tions. That pace matched the first quarter’s level, which was al- ready the lowest since early 2009, when growth slumped to 6.2 percent amid the tur- moil of the global financial crisis. China’s economy posted its slowest annual growth in a quarter century of 6.9 per- cent last year and is expected to slow further this year, with officials targeting a 6.5 per- cent-7 percent expansion. Growth is slowing as Chi- na’s communist leaders seek to wean the economy off ma- nufacturing, exports and was- teful and inefficient spending on infrastructure. They want growth to be centered on self- sustaining services and priva- te consumption but the transi- tion is proving to be tricky.

Wilder retained his WBC hea- vyweight title with a technical title, stopping Arreola knockout when Chris Arreola’s corner stopped the fight after the eighth round Saturday ni- ght at Legacy Arena. AP PHOTO Arreola’s left eye appeared swollen shut. An injured Wilder (37-0, 36 knockouts) knocked down Arreola in the fourth and peppered him with left jabs and hooks after landing hard rights early. Promoter Lou DiBella said Wilder was taken to nearby UAB Hospital after a doctor confirmed he had a broken ri- ght hand and a probable distal tear in that biceps. Both inju- ries happened early in the fight. Wilder showed reporters his injured biceps as he headed to the locker room and said he was already certain the hand was broken. He threw the right, his biggest weapon, sparingly after the fourth round. Even hurting, Wilder didn’t lose his bravado.
