Two sessions a source of stability and confidence in a turbulent world

These efforts resonate with international observers, who view China's sustained R&D investments and entrepreneurial vigor as antidotes to global economic stagnation.
The latest official data shows China's economic recovery gathered momentum in February, with the purchasing managers' index (PMI) for the manufacturing sector coming in at 50.2 in February, up 1.1 percentage points from the previous month and bouncing back to the expansion zone.
During the two sessions, China's annual growth target will be unveiled, and more details on its proactive macro policies, particularly a “moderately loose“ monetary policy—a significant departure from the “prudent“ approach over the past 14 years—are widely anticipated.
Apart from economic growth and technology development, we may also see heated discussions on culture issues. The success of Ne Zha 2 mirrors the broader narrative of China's cultural confidence, and we may see more initiatives to promote the integration of China's intangible heritage and digital content, fostering global connections through shared cultural experiences.
Therefore, the 2025 two sessions are much more than a “political ritual“ as some western media has said; they are a declaration of China's unwavering resolve to innovate and inspire. By marrying grassroots insights with visionary policy-making, leveraging technological prowess, and projecting cultural authenticity, China is not merely navigating challenges but also injecting stability and creating growth.
In an era of flux, I believe this is the confidence and strength the world urgently needs at the moment.
