The Second Session of the National People's Congress held a press conference on the theme of economy, and experts and scholars from all walks of life and international leaders paid attention to and reported the content of the meeting. The release of the economic growth target is of great significance to China's economic development and the global economic pattern. All parties are full of expectations for the future development of China's economy and have expressed that they will pay close attention to China's economic policies and measures.
The release of this expected goal is not only an affirmation of China's economic development, but also a demonstration of China's determination to economic stability and sustainable development.
