China has set a 5 percent economic growth target for this year. We spoke with National People's Congress deputies at the Great Hall of the People to find out the key drivers of this target. 

JIA SHAOQIAN Deputy, 14th National People's Congress, Chairman of Hisense Group "The report outlined key measures to boost consumption, trade, and investment, crucial for businesses like ours. The government's strong support for technological innovation and AI adoption will drive efficiency and contribute to China's economic recovery. If we stay on this path, I believe China can sustain steady growth at around 5%." 

LIU HANYUAN Deputy, 14th National People's Congress, Chairman of Tongwei Group "The private sector is the backbone of economic growth, job creation, and innovation. In the global market, our competitiveness depends on the vitality and creativity of private enterprises. Strengthening support for this sector will be crucial to China's long-term economic resilience." 

HUANG WEI Deputy, 14th National People's Congress, Mayor of Zunyi, Guizhou Province "Active fiscal policies and a moderately loose monetary policy will be crucial. Expanding effective investment and boosting consumer demand, especially in Western China, are top priorities. With these measures in place, I believe the 5% growth target is within reach." 

HUANG JUNHUA Deputy, 14th National People's Congress, Vice Chairman of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region CPPCC "China is at a critical stage of development. Given the complex external environment, we must focus on fostering new quality productive forces to drive growth. Policies outlined in the Central Economic Work Conference and the premier's report provide clear guidance. Effective implementation will boost consumption, stimulate the domestic market, and generate new economic momentum."
