MNI China Press Digest Mar 10:Growth Confidence, Risky US Bill

MNI (Sydney)

The following lists highlights from Chinese press reports on Wednesday:

  • China expressed its confidence in the the economic recovery by setting a goal of "more than 6%" growth in 2021, said the official People's Daily in a commentary. The economy is resilient and dynamic, as proved by exports increasing 50% y/y in the first two month and box office receipts of CNY12 billion in February, the highest in a single month, the Daily said. The low-end GDP growth target enables China to pursue structural reforms this year, the commentary said. Most analysts expect China's growth to be about 8% this year, MNI noted.
  • U.S. President Biden's pandemic relief plan has shown that the country's system encourages the pursuit of immediate interests and that the current administration risks side effects including a huge debt burden, said Global Times in an editorial. Conversely, China restrained from assuming massive stimulus, it said. The U.S. economy is a dangerous system under increasing pressure and is bound to explode sooner or later, the newspaper said.
