BEIJING, July 22 (Xinhua) -- China's service outsourcing industry saw steady expansion in the first half of this year, according to data from the Ministry of Commerce.

The executed contract value stood at 740 billion yuan during this period, with a year-on-year increase of 14.7 percent.

Of the total, the value of offshore service outsourcing contracts rose 15.1 percent compared to the same period last year, reaching 630 billion yuan.
