The domestic gross product is projected to grow by 5% in 2025, mirroring the growth rate achieved in the preceding year. While the headline figure remains consistent, the underlying forces propelling China's economy forward have quietly undergone a significant transformation, passing the baton to new drivers. The data for 2025 reveals a remarkable surge in the value-added output of high-tech manufacturing, which skyrocketed by 9.4% year-on-year, outpacing the average growth rate of all large-scale industries by a substantial 3.5 percentage points, demonstrating a vigorous sprint forward. Industries brimming with technological sophistication, such as 3D printing equipment and industrial robots, witnessed even more explosive growth, with their output soaring by 52.5% and 28% respectively. The nation's economic structure is steadily optimizing, aligning ever more closely with the planned trajectory. The core engine of economic growth is evolving, and a more resilient powerhouse has already been ignited. The 14th Five-Year Plan had clearly outlined the objectives to enhance the quality and structure of export commodities and to steadily increase the value-added of exports. Despite the turbulent and unpredictable global economic and trade landscape in 2025, China delivered an outstanding performance characterized by counter-trend growth, with the most prominent standout being the blistering 13.2% expansion in high-tech product exports. The 5% growth in 2025 is achieved on a substantially larger economic base, resulting in a significantly greater absolute increment. China continues to solidify its role as a crucial stabilizer for the world economy.
