中国政治局释放 2026 年经济刺激信号
2025-12-09
| China's top leadership, meeting to discuss the 2026 path forward for the economy, signaled that stimulating domestic demand will continue to be a top priority, along with cultivating development of advanced science and technology. The Politburo of the Communist Party meeting on Monday traditionally sets the tone for the annual Central Economic Work Conference, scheduled next week, where growth targets, the budget and policy priorities for the next year are refined. "Progress while maintaining stability," is the prescription for growth, according to a readout from Xinhua news agency. China's policy deliberations come during a time of upheaval in the global trading environment, largely roiled by a US president bent on upending the traditional global trading system. The readout described the international economy and trading atmosphere as "a struggle." The Politburo meeting also signaled China's intention to open its markets wider to foreign investment and to keep its monetary policy "moderately loose". China's huge domestic market has been a bulwark in powering the economy amid headwinds from abroad. US investment bank Goldman Sachs is forecasting that Beijing will keep the 2026 growth target unchanged from 2025 at about 5 percent. | |

习近平与马克龙在北京会晤，寻求进一步深化关系
2025-12-05
| Chinese President Xi Jinping told visiting French President that both countries, in face of a rapidly changing world environment, should "demonstrate their responsibility, uphold multilateralism and stand on the right side of history." Macron urged Beijing to exert pressure on Russia to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine, and Xi told Macron that China has always supported constructive efforts to end the war. Their talks in the Chinese capital centered on trade and commercial ties.
Bilateral trade between China and France rose 4.1 percent in the first 10 months of the year to US$69 billion, the Ministry of Commerce said on Thursday. Xi told Macron that their two countries should consolidate cooperation in traditional fields such as aviation, aerospace and nuclear energy, and tap into the potential of new fields such as the green technologies, biopharmaceuticals and artificial intelligence. Macron said the two countries have identified "a path to convergence" on certain issues, while admitting there may be disagreements to overcome. Areas of tension include China's duties on imports of EU brandy, which mostly affect France, and still pending approval of a Chinese order for 500 Airbus jetliners. In turn, Beijing is unhappy about EU tariffs on Chinese-made electric cars as domestic automakers seek to penetrate the European market. |
