China’s economic performance in August 2025 revealed a mix of steady growth and strategic adaptation amid global uncertainties, according to a press conference held by the State Council Information Office (SCIO). Fu Linghui, chief economist at the National Bureau of Statistics, highlighted key trends shaping the world’s second-largest economy.
Tech & Green Energy Lead Growth
Fu noted a 12% year-on-year surge in high-tech manufacturing, driven by AI and quantum computing investments. Renewable energy sectors, including solar and wind, expanded by 18%, reflecting China’s push toward carbon neutrality. 🌱💡
Challenges Ahead?
While domestic consumption rose by 6.8%, weaker global demand impacted exports. Fu emphasized "proactive fiscal policies" to stabilize markets, hinting at potential stimulus measures. Analysts speculate this could boost startups and SMEs in Q4.
