Against the backdrop of increasing global economic uncertainty, China's economy has shown strong resilience and vitality: GDP grew by 5.2%, "new three things" exports surged by 30%, and new foreign investment grew by 14%. The enthusiasm of 1.4 billion people is building a more stable and stronger new economic picture.
China's economy shows strong potential and positive prospects
At a time when global economic uncertainty continues to increase, China's economy has released more and more positive signals. From the resilience of the manufacturing industry to the continued growth of new quality productivity; from the accelerated recovery of the consumer market to the steady growth of high-tech industries, a vibrant and confident economic picture is gradually unfolding.
Steady progress, key data frequently reported good news
In the first half of 2025, China's many macroeconomic data were impressive. GDP grew by 5.2% year-on-year, higher than the forecasts of many institutions at the beginning of the year; fixed asset investment steadily rebounded, and manufacturing investment grew by 9.8% year-on-year; the export structure continued to optimize, and the export of "new three things" such as new energy vehicles and photovoltaic products grew by more than 30% year-on-year.
Not only that, the service industry, tourism industry, night economy and other fields have also recovered rapidly. During the Dragon Boat Festival, the total number of domestic tourists nationwide reached 110 million, an increase of more than 15% year-on-year. The continuous release of consumption vitality is becoming a solid driving force for promoting the high-quality development of China's economy.
Innovation-driven, new quality productivity has become a key word
It is worth mentioning that "new quality productivity" has been frequently mentioned since this year, becoming an important perspective for observing the Chinese economy. The rapid development of high-tech industries represented by artificial intelligence, biomedicine, and new materials is leading China to accelerate its progress from a "manufacturing power" to a "smart manufacturing power".
In Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places, a group of companies with independent core technologies have emerged; in Hefei, Anhui and Chengdu, Sichuan, emerging industrial clusters are accelerating their layout. Technological innovation is moving from "laboratories" to "production lines" and from "technological achievements" to "industrial dividends".
Foreign capital votes with its feet and is optimistic about China's long-term potential
Despite the challenges in the external environment, foreign capital continues to deploy in the Chinese market. According to data from the Ministry of Commerce, in the first five months of 2025, the number of new investment projects in China by the world's top 500 companies increased by 14% year-on-year.
