April 16 (Reuters) - China's gross domestic product (GDP) grew 5.3% in January-March from the year earlier, official data showed, comfortably above a 4.6% analysts' forecast in a Reuters poll and up from the 5.2% expansion in the previous quarter. While the data offered some relief to officials as they try to shore up growth in the face of protracted weakness in the property sector and mounting local government debt, several March indicators released alongside the GDP data showed that demand at home remains frail.
