Development of China's industrial economy in past decade

China's industrial economy has rapidly expanded over the past decade, with the country's industrial structure and quality of development improving steadily, according to a report released on Tuesday by the National Bureau of Statistics.

Since the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) was held in late 2002, the country has developed its industrial economy and established itself as a global industrial power, the report said.

The following are facts and figures from the report:

-- From 2003 to 2011, industrial value-added output grew by an average of 15.4 percent annually.
