Editor's note: Investors need growth. And China is delivering it - no more, no less.

Ahead of the release on Wednesday of second-quarter GDP figures, China Daily asked several economists for their estimates. The difference between the lowest and highest figures was just 0.2 percentage point.

It was not surprising that the economists all commented favorably on the country's efforts to sustain growth in the second quarter. From the central government's mini-stimulus, consisting mainly of fresh capital for infrastructure development, to the relaxation of housing curbs by some local governments - all drew positive responses.
