Reuters on a China Securities Journal piece:

Fan Hengshan, the vice secretary general with the National Development and Reform Commission, speaking over the weekend:

  • If China's 2017 economic growth will surpass 6.8 percent or 6.9 percent, the growth rate for 2018 will not be lower than 6.5%

More China growth is usually associated with a better tone for the AUD. Which needs all the help it can get right now. It finished last week very heavily indded and hasn't done much of a bounce today.
