Zheng Xinli, deputy head of the China Centre for International Economic Exchanges, a government think tank, said China's economic data for August has turned out worse than expected and the economy's prospects remain gloomy.

Chinese government has already announced about $150 billion worth of stimulus package to be spent on various infrastructure projects for reviving the economy.
