First, there’s a story celebrating China’s GDP crossing the 100-trillion-yuan (15.42 trillion U.S. dollars) mark for the first time. NBS data said that China’s GDP grew at 6.5-percent in the fourth quarter of the year. That put annual year-on-year growth at 2.3 percent. The piece in People’s Daily praises the Chinese, specifically Xi Jinping for this. It says “At critical moments and important junctures, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core maintained strategic determination, accurately judged the situation, carefully planned and deployed, and acted decisively to coordinate epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development.” It then talks about specific developments, such as the RCEP, poverty alleviation, technological development and economic policies adopted in the year.
