China is aiming for a GDP growth rate of at least 4.5 to 5 percent in 2026, according to a government work report that was submitted Thursday to the country's top legislature for deliberation.
Premier Li Qiang, who delivered the report at the opening of the fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress in Beijing, said that the growth target is well aligned with the country's long-range objectives through the year 2035 and is broadly in line with the long-term growth potential of China's economy, with favorable conditions in place for achieving this target.
Government at local level should, taking into account their own conditions, make solid efforts to deliver positive outcomes, Li said.
