China’s GDP grows 5.3% in the first quarter of 2024
Quick Glance: China's Economy Surprisingly Strong in Q1 2024
  • China's economy experienced stronger growth than anticipated in the first quarter of this year, primarily due to the thriving high-tech manufacturing sector.

Notably, the manufacturing of 3D printing devices, electric vehicle charging stations, and electronic components surged by approximately 40% year-over-year.

  • A recent official report highlighted a rise in China's manufacturing purchasing managers' index during the first quarter, marking the first increase in six months. Moreover, the Caixin/S&P Manufacturing PMI, a privately conducted survey, achieved its highest level in over a year as foreign demand grew.

  • China's economy grew by 5.2% in 2023. Despite a significant improvement from the previous year, it still represented one of the country's weakest economic performances in more than thirty years.
