Multinational experts： China’s economy is making great strides to benefit the whole world.

CCTV News:Regarding the economic data released by China in the first quarter, multinational experts said that the economic data of China in the first quarter was better than market expectations, which indicated that China’s economy was making great strides, and China’s economic prosperity and development not only benefited China, but also benefited the whole world.

Surab Gupta, a senior researcher at the Center for Sino-American Studies in the United States, said that China’s GDP in the first quarter increased by 4.5% year-on-year and 2.2% quarter-on-quarter, which is a good sign that China’s economy is making great strides, and China will have a bumper harvest year in 2023.

Surab Gupta, Senior Researcher, Center for Sino-American Studies, USA:What we are seeing now is that China is striding forward, and the economic development speed is faster than the market expectation. Frankly speaking, I think China’s economy will soon reach the speed of take-off. In terms of economic growth, 2023 will usher in a bumper year.

Vitol Gaspar, director of the Financial Affairs Department of the International Monetary Fund, said that China’s economy has maintained growth not only because it can adapt to the needs of development and carry out transformation, but also because it insists on the effective combination of expanding consumption and deepening supply-side structural reform.

Vitol Gaspar, Director of the Financial Affairs Department of the International Monetary Fund:I think that China has a very strong growth record in the past 45 years, and China has proved that rapid growth and development are extremely important, and it has indeed lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. With the continuous expansion of China’s scale in the world economy, it is very important for China to give priority to the growth of domestic resources, which shows Chinese’s intelligence.

David Falstein, president of the George Bush Foundation for US-China Relations, said that China’s economy started well in 2023, which benefited from the reform and opening-up policy, and China’s economic achievements were also conducive to global economic development.

David Falstein, President of George Bush Foundation for US-China Relations:Under the reform and opening-up policy, China has obviously achieved success. From the economic point of view, China has been on the right path for a long time, and China has been creating prosperity, improving living environment and improving material conditions. I think it is in the interest of China and the global economy to continue on this path.
