Chinese premier Li Qiang convened the ninth plenary meeting of the State Council to map out fresh strategies for the Chinese mainland’s economic rebound. He urged officials to take a balanced view of current challenges, from global uncertainties to domestic consumption trends, and translate high-level decisions into concrete action.
At the heart of his message was a push to improve macroeconomic policy effectiveness and zero in on key priorities that solidify the domestic economy. "We must keep unlocking consumption potential and accelerate new growth drivers such as services consumption and innovative business models," Li said, laying out a roadmap for resilient, long-term momentum.
Property markets remain a priority, with Li calling for solid measures to steady trends and bolster confidence. He also stressed the importance of deep integration between science and technology and industrial innovation—an approach aimed at fueling startups, attracting investment, and setting the stage for next-generation industries.
Li also championed the steady advance of high-standard opening up and the orderly expansion of both voluntary and unilateral opening up, inviting global partners to participate in market reforms and collaborative projects across sectors.
Beyond growth targets, social stability and well-being are central to meeting annual goals. The premier highlighted efforts to maintain stable employment, enhance workplace safety oversight, and strengthen disaster prevention and relief. This holistic focus underscores a new phase of policy coordination that balances economic gains with social resilience.
For global young citizens and business leaders, these moves signal a shift toward a more inclusive and innovation-driven economy in the Chinese mainland. As companies, travelers, and changemakers watch these developments, the emphasis on consumption, technology, and stable social foundations offers fresh entry points for collaboration and growth.
