This year's government work report proposes that the main expected development goal for 2025 is: GDP growth of about 5%. This is also the third consecutive year that China has anchored its GDP growth rate to the 5% range.

Reuters believes that China reiterates its 5% economic growth target as a sign of confidence. The report quoted professionals as saying, "China's reaffirmation of the 5% economic growth target means that it will increase policy support for domestic demand this year." There is a general belief that China has the ability to do this.
