China says economy got a strong start in 2024, sets sights on latest technology, upgrading factories
China has plenty of room to maneuver to attain its annual target for robust economic growth of about 5% after a strong start for the year, top economic officials said Wednesday, though they acknowledged it's a challenge.
China’s exports rose about 10% in the first two months of the year from a year earlier, while medium- and long-term loans from banks jumped more than 30%, said China’s top planning official, Zheng Shanjie, who heads the National Development and Reform Commission.
