China remains on track to achieve 5% economic growth this year, according to Premier Li Qiang.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Tianjin, Li said he expects Q2 GDP growth to exceed Q1 and China to continue policy support to expand domestic demand, boost green transition, and encourage high quality opening. Li urged the international community to cherish globalistion and said artificial intelligence and digitalisation were creating opportunity for further global integration. Countries are seeing post pandemic visible barriers returning to normal, but the international community needs to make efforts to remove invisible barriers, Li said.

During his recent visit to Europe, Li mentioned France and German leaders supported win-win cooperation and rejected a zero-sum mindset seen elsewhere in the west.
