China's economy has been on fire this year, and it’s not just Beijing celebrating the wins. Recently, Lawrence Loh, director of the Center for Governance and Sustainability at the National University of Singapore Business School, shared his take on how this strong performance is a win for everyone 🌏.
The Central Economic Work Conference, held in Beijing from December 10 to 11, set the economic priorities for 2026. Loh, who has been following the conference closely, praised China’s 2025 results as "very commendable." Despite global uncertainties and trade challenges, the Chinese mainland delivered robust growth and stability 📈.
"China's economy will continue to pursue high-quality development in the next stage and further benefit both China and the world," Loh said, highlighting how policies set at the conference aim to balance growth with sustainability and innovation.
Why does this matter? When the Chinese mainland thrives, global markets feel the ripple effects. From tech supply chains to commodity prices, a stronger China can boost trade partners and investors everywhere. Young entrepreneurs and students tracking international trends should keep an eye on how these policies unfold in 2026 🕵️♀️💡.
For professionals and the Asian diaspora, Loh’s insights underscore the interconnected nature of today’s economy. As China steers towards higher-quality growth, the world stands to gain from new opportunities in green technology, digital services, and more.
As the world gears up for 2026, all eyes will be on how China’s plans play out – and whether these moves can keep the global growth story on track 🚀.
