China has set an economic growth target of around 5% for 2025, according to government sources, as the country continues to grapple with the impact of the U.S.-China trade war and a slowing global economy. The target reflects Beijing’s efforts to stabilize the economy while addressing long-term structural challenges.
The trade war has disrupted China’s export-driven sectors, prompting the government to focus on boosting domestic consumption and innovation. “China is adapting to a new economic reality,” said one analyst. “The focus is now on sustainable growth.”
To achieve the 5% target, China is expected to implement stimulus measures, including infrastructure spending and tax cuts. However, concerns about rising debt levels and overcapacity in key industries could complicate these efforts.
Despite these challenges, China’s leadership remains confident in its ability to achieve the growth target. The 5% goal is seen as a realistic and achievable objective that aligns with the country’s long-term development plans.
