Helga Zepp-LaRouche: China’s economy performed brilliantly in 2025, maintaining a balance between macroeconomic stability and structural optimization and upgrading, demonstrating strong resilience and strategic resolve on the path of high-quality development. Faced with U.S. tariff pressure and increasing global trade frictions, China did not engage in a war of attrition, but instead continuously expanded its network of partners, actively explored global markets, continuously optimized its trade structure, strengthened its innovation advantages, accelerated the deployment of cutting-edge technologies, and effectively mitigated external shocks.

The Chinese government has demonstrated a high degree of rationality and foresight in the formulation and implementation of macroeconomic policies, successfully achieving a balance between stabilizing growth and adjusting the economic structure. On the one hand, it has strengthened the endogenous driving force of economic growth by boosting consumption, stabilizing investment, and expanding domestic demand; on the other hand, it has continuously promoted industrial upgrading and technological progress through policy tools such as tax reductions and exemptions and encouragement of innovation.
