Delegates and media watch as Chinese Premier Li Qiang speaks during the opening session of the National People's Congress (NPC) at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, China, March 5, 2025
THE Chinese government unveiled an annual economic growth target of “around 5 per cent” today.
The announcement was made by Prime Minister Li Qiang during the opening session of the 3,000-member National People’s Congress and came despite the possible negative impact of a looming trade war with the United States.
