Chinese President Xi told officials to ensure GDP growth outpaces the U.S.'s this year,

Wall Street Journal had the report Tuesday US time (gated) 

    Chinese President Xi Jinping has told officials to ensure that the country's economic growth outpaces the U.S.'s this year, according to people familiar with the discussions
   

            In meetings over the past few weeks, Mr. Xi told senior economic and financial officials that ensuring that the economy is stable and growing is important because it is critical to show that China's one-party system is a superior alternative to Western liberal democracy, and that the U.S. is declining both politically and economically.


For markets this is relevant:

   

        In response to Mr. Xi's call to rev up growth, Chinese government agencies are discussing plans to accelerate big construction projects, especially in the manufacturing, technology, energy and food sectors, as well as to issue coupons to individuals to spur consumer spending, the people said.
   

--
Chinese authorities have often, and regularly, been accused of fudging data to show growth hitting targets, so that's a fall back position if fiscal measures aren't quite enough
