China grows faster amid worries 







 Analysts say the stimulus package seems to be working







China's economy grew at an annual rate of 7.9% between April and June, up from 6.1% in the first quarter, thanks to the government's big stimulus package. 

The country's quickening economic expansion comes as most nations in the West continue to experience recession.
