China's gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 5 percent in 2025.

According to data released by China's National Bureau of Statistics on Monday, GDP reached $20.13 trillion (140.19 trillion yuan) in 2025. With this, the annual economic growth target of 5 percent has been met, the bureau said. 

China's GDP grew by 4.5 percent in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to 2024. Similarly, the bureau's data showed that it grew by 5.4 percent in the first quarter, 5.2 percent in the second, and 4.8 percent in the third, respectively.

China's exports to the United States have been somewhat affected since Donald Trump became president for the second time. However, China has increased its exports to other parts of the world during this period.

China has prioritized the development of AI and other cutting-edge technologies in recent years. Large tech companies are opening here. Huge investments have been made in this with the aim of reducing dependence on the United States and other competitors. The growth rate of small and medium-sized businesses has been slow during this period, according to international media reports.
