China’s key NPC meeting comes to a close as lower growth target set | Politics News
The National People’s Congress (NPC) concluded with the approval of China's 15th five-year plan, setting a growth target of 4.5 to 5 percent for the next five years. The plan also includes targets for inflation, unemployment, and fiscal deficit. China aims to become a "moderately developed" country by 2035 and raise GDP per capita to $20,000. The NPC also addressed corruption concerns with plans to pass a law combating cross-border corruption and increased efforts to ensure political loyalty to Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party.
