Updated: 2009-09-09 02:24 BEIJING: China's software industry continued to grow in the first seven months of this year, but at a slower pace because of the global economic downturn. 
 
 However, the growth rate was 10.2 percentage points lower than the same period of last year. July alone registered a 20 percent growth from a year ago in income. It was down 0.8 percentage point from June and 2.4 percentage points lower than May.  |
