Having experienced an economic slowdown in 2022 due to the pandemic, China has adjusted its COVID-19 policies to account for the evolving situation, and rolled out a series of measures to ensure stable economic growth, including strengthening domestic demand and boosting global economic cooperation and communication through multilateral diplomacy.

With China loosening its COVID-19 restrictions, some Western politicians and media have continued, unsurprisingly, to distort and smear China. So, what's the actual situation in China? What kind of new opportunities will China encounter under the changes? What impact will global inflation have on China? What is the relationship between the stabilization and recovery of China's economy and the stability of the global supply chain and economic growth?

CGTN's online forum "Looking Ahead 2023" will answer these questions with facts. Our hosts and experts will discuss China's modified COVID-19 measures, its updated economic and financial policies, and the new factors driving its economic growth.

"Looking Ahead 2023" will start on December 27, 2022, and last for one month, with sessions occurring every two days. The forum will be available on all CGTN platforms.
