China is poised to report its slowest growth since the financial crisis - Oct. 16, 2014

China's economy is likely to have clocked its worst quarter in more than five years, according to a CNNMoney survey of economists.

Gross domestic product is forecast to have expanded by 7.2% in the third quarter, compared to the same period last year, according to a median estimate of 15 economists. That puts economic growth at its slowest pace since the first quarter of 2009, and well short of 7.5% expansion in the second quarter.
