China’s economic recovery reflects structural transformation rather than a short-term rebound, driven by new productive forces, shifting growth drivers, and stronger domestic demand. In the first quarter, GDP grew 5.0% year on year to 33.4 trillion yuan, maintaining solid momentum despite global uncertainties.
Domestic demand contributed 84.7% of growth, while industrial output rose 6.1% and high-tech manufacturing surged 12.5%, signaling continued upgrading. Emerging sectors such as “AI+” and 6G are becoming new engines.
