China’s gross domestic product (GDP) expanded by 5.2% year on year in the second quarter of 2025, according to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics on Tuesday. This growth signals a steady recovery in the world’s second-largest economy amid global economic uncertainties.
The new figures highlight China’s ongoing efforts to boost domestic consumption and bolster key industries. Sectors such as technology, manufacturing, and services have played a significant role in driving this economic upturn.
“The 5.2% GDP growth demonstrates China’s resilient economic performance despite external challenges,” said a spokesperson from the National Bureau of Statistics. “We will continue to implement policies that promote sustainable development and innovation.”
This positive trend is expected to have a ripple effect on the global economy, especially for countries in the Global South that maintain strong trade relationships with China.
As China continues on this growth trajectory, many are watching to see how it will influence global markets and economic partnerships in the coming months.
