China has full confidence in achieving this year’s growth target, says Xi

BEIJING (Reuters) – Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Tuesday that China had full confidence in achieving this year’s economic growth target and in continuing to play the role of the world’s largest engine of economic growth.

Xi also said he hoped the United States, the world’s largest economy, would work with China, according to Chinese state media.

There will be no winners in tariff wars, trade wars and technology wars, he told the visiting heads of major international economic organisations.

China has set a 2024 economic growth target of around 5% this year.
