Resilience in focus: China's Economic Vitality Data Night

China Media Group hosted China's Economic Vitality Data Night on January 29. By systematically presenting fresh data across key areas including consumption, circulation and foreign trade, the event highlighted the resilience and momentum of China's economy in 2025.

Consumption, a main engine of economic growth, took center stage, with attention on domestic demand potential. Yin Yanlin, deputy director of the Committee on Economic Affairs of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said the standout features of the 2025 consumer market lay in the continued release of domestic demand potential and the precise alignment of supply with changing demand.

Meanwhile, foreign trade demonstrated strong resilience. Data showed that China's total goods imports and exports surpassed 45 trillion yuan for the first time in 2025. Zhao Zhongxiu, president of the University of International Business and Economics of China noted that the highlights of foreign trade performance went beyond scale expansion to sustained structural optimization, with China's mega-sized market providing steady support to the global economy.

Through a combination of hard data and expert interpretation, China's Economic Vitality Data Night presented a clear picture of the country's economic strength, bolstering confidence at the start of the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-30).
