On Jan. 8, its management of COVID-19 was officially downgraded from Class A to Class B.Less than one month after the optimization of COVID-19 response measures in December 2022, China reported declining numbers of fever patients and critical COVID-19 cases as both had passed the peak.ECONOMIC RESILIENCEIn the just-concluded Spring Festival holiday, China's consumption made a strong comeback.During the week-long holiday, sales revenue of China's consumption-related sectors rose 12.2 percent from the same holiday period in 2022. Its cinemas sold 129 million tickets, generating a whopping revenue of 6.76 billion yuan, the second highest-grossing to date.Wen Bin, the chief economist with China Minsheng Bank, said that warming demand at home would propel the turnaround in the Chinese economy this year and estimated the country's full-year GDP growth at around 5.5 percent.Aside from the overall economic growth, China also made significant headway in maintaining consumer price stability, guaranteeing food and energy security, and improving people's livelihoods.In 2022, China's CPI grew by 2 percent, a fraction of the increases reported in the United States, the eurozone, and Britain. It is also lower than those of other emerging economies.Amid a global food crisis, the country has secured a bumper harvest for the 19th year in a row, with its grain output at about 686.53 billion kg in 2022, up 0.5 percent from 2021.A total of 11.86 million, 12.69 million, and 12.06 million new urban jobs were created in 2020, 2021, and 2022, respectively, all surpassing the targets set for each year.Despite the gloomy global investment environment, China remains one of the most attractive investment destinations in the world. Foreign direct investment (FDI) in the Chinese mainland, in actual use, expanded 6.3 percent year on year to 1.23 trillion yuan in 2022.China has now become a major trading partner for more than 140 countries and regions, with its total trade of goods up 7.7 percent year on year in 2022, topping the world for six consecutive years.BRIGHTER OUTLOOKRecently, multiple international investment banks and financial institutions, including Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, Barclays, and Natixis, have upwardly revised their forecast for China's economic growth rate in 2023, betting on the country's rosy prospects and strong resilience.China has remained a glimmer of hope despite the bleak outlook of the global economy grappling with recession fears and persistent economic weakness.A recent flagship report by the United Nations painted a gloomy picture of the global economy. It warned that multiple and intersecting crises would likely add more damage to the worldwide economy. It is projected that global economic growth would slow from 3 percent in 2022 to 1.9 percent this year.However, despite the downbeat global outlook, the report projected China's GDP growth to hit 4.8 percent in 2023.China "can play a vital role in stimulating global growth," said Hamid Rashid, chief of the Global Economic Monitoring Branch, Economic Analysis and Policy Division, UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs. He cited China's ample room for monetary policy maneuvers, low inflation rate, and strong consumption recovery momentum.Echoing Rashid's point, Bob Moritz, global chairman of PricewaterhouseCoopers, said he is bullish on China's economic outlook, given its strong consumer base, technological advancement, and top exporter's position."China has always been very impressive in dealing with challenges. I'm quite optimistic about the outcome," Saudi Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources Bandar Alkhorayef told Xinhua, adding that China would play an essential role in helping to boost global economic growth.??■ Here is shan dong 編輯： 宋基金 閱讀量：410

CHINA DAILYChina's tech and internet companies are expected to embrace a new round of growth this year, which will inject greater impetus into job creation and the country's economic recovery, said industry experts and company executives."Restoring expectations and confidence in platform companies this year will drive the promotion of high-quality employment," said Zhang Yansheng, chief researcher at the China Center for International Economic Exchanges."They can also maximize their role of driving the integration of digital technologies and the real economy to offer fresh impetus to new occupations," Zhang said.The remarks were made following the tone-setting Central Economic Work Conference that took place in December. The meeting emphasized that platform companies — which mainly refer to tech and internet enterprises that leverage platforms to offer services — will be supported to "fully display their capabilities" in bolstering economic growth, job creation and international competition.A report led by the Chinese Academy of Personnel Science said that over the next five years, Tencent's digital ecosystem is expected to help create 31.8 million new jobs, adding that the company has driven the development of 147 new job categories."As an important part of the new economy, the platform economy has undergone a period of healthy governance coupled with the gradual improvement of related laws and regulations, and it now has the conditions to radiate vitality and speed up further development," said Wang Xiaoming, head of industrial and technological innovation at the Institute of Science and Development at the Chinese Academy of Sciences."Amid internal and external economic uncertainties, platform enterprises are expected to play a leading role in driving both domestic economic growth and global industrial advancement," Wang said.Shan Zhiguang, director of the information and industrial development department at the State Information Center, said: "Moving forward, a group of tech and internet enterprises will lead digital transformation in various industrial sectors, including consumption, entertainment and medical care."They will drive the formation of several innovation ecosystems related to artificial intelligence, cloud computing, blockchain, big data and processors. It will be a new normal for major economies to compete in the above-mentioned ecosystems."A white paper released by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, a government think tank, showed that the market scale of China's digital economy reached .1 trillion last year, which was the second-largest globally."In terms of consumption, China's younger generations are stepping up to become the main force of luxury consumption. We are inspired to bring such strong demand to global brands and the consumer market," said Yang Bing, founder and CEO of POIZON, an online fashion marketplace for authentic branded sneakers and designer label accessories as well as luxury brands.Moving forward, the platform will also leverage more technologies, including augmented reality and artificial intelligence, to drive more creative consumption experiences for young consumers, Yang added."This positive shift enables platform companies to not only lead development in various business sectors in the domestic market, but also compete further on the global stage in the future," said Wei Jianguo, former vice-minister of commerce and vice-chairman of the China Center for International Economic Exchanges, in an earlier interview.
