Feeling China's confidence from New Year's greetings

The New Year's greeting is a concise summary of the past year, as well as a clear outlook for the coming year. "Although dreams are far away, pursuing them can be achieved; although wishes are difficult, holding them can be fulfilled." The New Year's greeting from Chinese leaders conveys China's confidence and strength to the world.

In the past year, China has become the "anchor of stability" for global development, with an expected contribution rate of around 30 per cent to world economic growth. In 2024, China successively introduced a series of policy "combination punches", which have driven the economic recovery and improvement. China's GDP is expected to exceed 130 trillion yuan; The CIIE, Chain Expo, Service Trade Expo, and Consumer Expo deeply connect China with the world, and the door to China's high-level opening-up to the outside world is opening wider and wider; China is anchoring new quality productivity and accelerating the transformation of industries from "new" to "green". The annual output of new energy vehicles has exceeded 10 million units for the first time, and new achievements have been made in fields such as integrated circuits, artificial intelligence, and quantum communication.

In 2025, the global economy will continue to face complex and ever-changing trends, seeking recovery and development amidst risks and challenges. The New Year's greetings from Chinese national leaders will show the world a progressive China.

Sherik Korjumbaev, the editor in chief of Kazakhstan Industry News, said that the scale of China's new energy vehicle industry has reached a new level, and China has made many remarkable achievements in fields such as integrated circuits, artificial intelligence, quantum communication, aerospace, deep-sea and polar exploration. All of these indicate that the development of China's new quality productivity is breaking free from the cocoon and becoming a butterfly.

Ignacio Martinez, a researcher at the International Relations Center of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, believes that in the context of global turbulence, China actively promotes global governance reform, deepens global southern solidarity and cooperation, and injects more positive energy into maintaining world peace and stability. Looking ahead to the new year, the world expects more proposals and solutions from China.

In his New Year's message, UN Secretary General Guterres called for 'not to let the world fall apart anymore, but to unite and make 2025 a new beginning'. All countries in the world should transcend barriers and conflicts with a broad mind, care for the fate of humanity with broad emotions, and jointly create a better future for the world.
