  • Beijing/Hong Kong (CNN)
  • China has set an ambitious target of "around 5%" growth for 2025, in a defiant show of confidence as it braces for the fallout from escalating American tariffs on its export-driven economy.

The article from MSN discusses China's economic strategy in the face of ongoing trade tensions with the U.S., particularly highlighting China's setting of an ambitious 5% growth target for the year. Despite the trade war initiated by former U.S. President Donald Trump, which included tariffs and other trade barriers, China has decided to maintain its economic growth ambitions. This target is seen as a signal of China's confidence in its economic resilience and its ability to navigate through international trade disputes. The article notes that this move could be interpreted as China's defiance against the pressures exerted by the U.S., aiming to stabilize its economy and reassure investors and the global market of its economic stability and growth potential. Furthermore, it touches upon the broader implications of this target, including potential policy adjustments, increased domestic consumption, and technological innovation to reduce reliance on exports to the U.S. market.
