Wen Warns of Unstable Economic Rebound

The nation's gross domestic product grew 7.6% year on year in Q2 2012, the first time the quarterly growth rate fell below 8% in three years. Analysts say the polices aimed at cooling the property market will not be eased in 2H 2012 and investing in infrastructure still will be the most effective economic stimulus.
