China’s economic trajectory in 2025 came into sharp focus during the China Economic Vitality Data Night, hosted by China Media Group on January 29. The event, which systematically analyzed fresh data across consumption, circulation, and foreign trade sectors, underscored the economy’s resilience amid global uncertainties.
Domestic demand emerged as a cornerstone of growth, with experts highlighting its role in stabilizing markets. Yin Yanlin, deputy director of the Committee on Economic Affairs of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, emphasized that 2025’s consumer market thrived on the "precise alignment of supply with evolving demand," particularly in sectors like green technology and smart home appliances.
The data revealed a 7.2% year-on-year increase in cross-border e-commerce transactions last year, signaling robust foreign trade adaptation. Analysts noted this reflects the Chinese mainland’s strategic emphasis on dual circulation – balancing domestic consumption with global market integration.
With overseas investors showing renewed interest in China’s advanced manufacturing and digital infrastructure projects, the findings offer critical insights for businesses and policymakers navigating Asia’s largest economy in 2026.
