The Chinese economy is not about Trump-style tariffs

First Voice

Editor's note: CGTN's First Voice provides instant commentary on breaking stories. The column clarifies emerging issues and better defines the news agenda, offering a Chinese perspective on the latest global events.

If anyone has got inside knowledge, could you please help us with this question: Do AP, Reuters, Bloomberg and other Western media get their news from the same source? Or do they all share the same writing staff? If not, why are they all being similarly lazy? We picked out their reports on China's GDP target for 2025. Let us show you how they put most of their focus on tariffs, trying to make sense of an incredibly complicated issue through just the tip of the iceberg.
