The real economy must remain the bedrock of future growth, according to latest Qiushi article

Shortly after US President Donald Trump departed Beijing, China’s ruling Communist Party has called for strengthening the real economy – particularly manufacturing – to gain a competitive edge in the global economy.

“At whatever stage of economic development we are, the real economy remains the foundation of our growth and the basis for gaining the initiative in international economic competition,” Xi was quoted as saying in the Qiushi article.

It also urged efforts to “consolidate leading positions in key industries and accelerate efforts to address gaps in areas critical to security and development”.
