China’s economy expanded by 5.4% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period last year, surpassing analysts’ expectations. The growth was driven by a recovery in consumer spending, strong exports, and increased government investment in infrastructure. Economists had projected a lower growth rate, making this result a positive sign for the country’s economic momentum amid global uncertainties. The figures suggest that China is on track to meet or even exceed its annual growth targets, providing a boost to both domestic and international market confidence.
