China’s major advantages to help achieve growth target: Justin Yifu Lin

Justin Yifu Linjustin
I am fully confident that China will achieve the economic target [set out in this year's Government Work Report]... Moreover, during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-30), China's potential annual growth rate could still be 8 percent,
Justin Yifu Linjustin
For the entire 15th Five-Year Plan period, I expect the annual growth targets to remain broadly within this range. If China achieves such growth, it will contribute approximately 30 percent to global economic growth each year and continue to serve as the primary engine of worldwide economic expansion,
Justin Yifu Linjustin
The vast majority of China's industries are still in the catch-up phase, and being in a catch-up phase brings the advantage of a 'latecomer,'
Justin Yifu Linjustin
I believe that, with an 8 percent growth potential and guided by the principle that development holds the master key to solving all problems, it is entirely possible for China to achieve 4.5 percent to 5 percent growth in 2026. Moreover, if the external environment does not undergo major disruptions and we do our own work well, we could even exceed 5 percent by a modest margin,

Chinese FM questions what kind of ideas were instilled by the Self-Defense Forces in the military officer who broke into Chinese Embassy

Mao Ning (diplomat)chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson
