China Shows Resilient Growth And Innovation

Asif Cheema, Asian Development Bank country director for China, said in a Jan. 22 Xinhua interview that China's economy grew 5.0% in 2025 and that ADB upwardly revised its 2025 forecast in December. He cited strong export performance, vigorous high-tech and new‑energy industrial activity, AI-driven revenue gains, a top‑10 Global Innovation Index ranking with R&D intensity at 2.8%, and $50.6 billion offshore inflows through October.
