(Reuters) – The White House, pressed on Wednesday about recent Chinese growth, said there were issues with the transparency of economic data issued by Beijing.

“We have all seen the reports of the economic weakness in China … and as we’ve said many times before, there have also been transparency issues as we know, when it comes to (China) and on the economic data, specifically,” spokeswomen Karine Jean-Pierre told a briefing.
