Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mao Ning presided over a regular press conference on January 7. A reporter asked. Recently, several European financial institutions such as Standard Chartered Bank of England, Société Générale, and the Dutch International Group released research reports stating that with the support of scientific and technological innovation and green transformation, the Chinese economy is expected to maintain steady growth in 2026, showing strong resilience among the world's major economies. What comments does the spokesperson have on this? Mao Ning said that in the past 2025, China's economy has effectively coped with various risks and challenges, moved ahead and developed to the top, led the world in scientific and technological innovation achievements and green energy transformation, and reached a new level of comprehensive national strength. China continues to promote a high level of opening-up to the outside world. It has become a major trading partner in more than 150 countries and regions, maintaining a contribution rate of around 30% to world economic growth, injecting momentum into global development. This year marks the beginning of the “15th Five-Year Plan”. Looking ahead to the “15th Five-Year Plan”, the supporting conditions and basic trends for the long-term improvement of the Chinese economy will not change, and its advantages will become more prominent. We will use “innovation” and “green” as the engine and undertone for high-quality development, use “openness” and “sharing” to help the world develop together, and continuously expand independent openness and institutional openness. We will continue to do our own good work and continue to write a new chapter in the Chinese miracle; we will also continue to share development and prosperity with other countries with an open attitude. The new journey of Chinese-style modernization will add new momentum and provide new opportunities for China and the world to co-create the future.
