SHENZHEN posted positive growth of its GDP in the first half of this year to 1.26 trillion yuan (US$180 billion), up 0.1 percent year on year, according to statistics released by the Shenzhen Municipal Statistics Bureau on Tuesday.

The positive growth was hailed as a hard-earned result of the city, whose economy shrank by 6.6 percent in the first quarter, the worst in its 40-year history, due to the impact of COVID-19.(SD News)
