On January 19, the National Bureau of Statistics of China released China's economic data for 2025: the country's GDP exceeded 140 trillion yuan (US$20.1 trillion), an increase of 5.0% compared with the previous year, confirming the stable development of the Chinese economy under difficult conditions.
China's successful achievement of economic growth targets demonstrates the high level of policy formulation and effective implementation. Thus, the 14th Five-Year Plan was triumphantly completed with "four leaps"—the country's economic size successively surpassed the milestones of 110, 120, 130, and 140 trillion yuan. As the world's second-largest economy, China, by demonstrating sustainable and progressive development, is making a contribution and inspiring confidence in the global economic outlook.
The past year has been extremely challenging. Despite significant pressure, the Chinese economy continued to move toward renewal and improvement. The national economy achieved progress in both quantity and quality, fully demonstrating its ability to transform under challenging conditions and its internal resilience.
China's 2025 economic growth targets were achieved under challenging conditions. Even many Western media outlets are forced to acknowledge the resilience of the Chinese economy.
The Wall Street Journal, which often takes a negative view of China's economy, used "strong growth" to describe the Chinese economy on January 19, arguing that China's exports in 2025 would not decline but, on the contrary, would grow, refuting widespread predictions that the "trade war will weaken China." According to the British broadcaster BBC, recent data shows "double growth" in the Chinese economy in manufacturing and exports.
This year, the world saw China's achievements in export diversification and witnessed the resilience of its economy moving forward despite pressure.
The resilience of the Chinese economy is based on a robust industrial system and sound macroeconomic policy. In terms of industrial structure, the balanced development model of the three economic sectors (primary, secondary, and tertiary) has been further strengthened, thereby creating diversified drivers of economic growth.
The primary sector's growth rate was 3.9%, providing a solid foundation for the population's well-being. Grain production has remained consistently high for many years, creating a reliable foundation for price stabilization and social sustainability.
The secondary sector grew by 4.5%. This growth reflects profound structural changes: the share of value added in the equipment manufacturing and high-tech manufacturing industries (referring to large-scale and above-scale enterprises) increased to 36.8% and 17.1%, respectively. New productive capacity is accelerating the transformation of the industrial landscape.
The tertiary sector accounts for 57.7% of GDP, the highest among the three economic sectors. Its growth rate was 5.4%, and its contribution to economic growth reached 61.4%. Improved quality and efficiency in the service sector provided strong support for expanding employment and growing consumer demand.
In the face of global economic uncertainty, China's innovative dynamism and pragmatic responsibility are becoming a necessary pillar of stability and confidence for the international community.
