China's economy stands out in global arena

在三年抗击新冠肺炎疫情斗争中，中国在经济发展和疫情防控方面取得了突出成绩，其作为世界经济增长重要动力源的地位得到巩固。

In its three-year-long fight against COVID-19, China posted outstanding results in economic development and epidemic control, reinforcing its status as a leading engine for the global economy.

在三年抗击新冠肺炎疫情斗争中，中国在经济发展和疫情防控方面取得了突出成绩，其作为世界经济增长重要动力源的地位得到巩固。

From 2020 to 2022, China's economy posted an annual average growth of 4.5 percent, outpacing the world average of around 2 percent, according to Yuan Da, director of the Department of National Economy of the National Development and Reform Commission.

国家发展改革委国民经济综合司司长袁达表示，2020年到2022年，中国经济年均增长4.5%，超过世界平均水平2%左右。

In 2022, the economy grew 3 percent year-on-year to a record high of 121 trillion yuan ($18 trillion), with the increment standing at 6.1 trillion yuan, equivalent to the economic aggregate of a medium-sized country.

2022年，中国国内生产总值121万亿元，同比增长3.0%，增量6.1万亿元，相当于一个中等国家的经济总量。

It also marks a new and higher level in terms of economic aggregate after the Chinese economy topped the thresholds of 100 trillion yuan and 110 trillion yuan in 2020 and 2021, respectively -- maintaining its position well as the world's second-largest economy.

这标志着继2020年和2021年中国经济分别突破100万亿元和110万亿元大关后，中国经济总量再上新台阶，稳居世界第二位。

Analysts attributed the hard-won results to the country's effective coordination in fighting COVID-19 and its economic fallouts simultaneously.

分析人士认为，中国取得这一不易成果，得益于有效统筹抗击疫情及其对经济的影响。

Thanks to effective virus control and timely pro-growth policies, China's economy has quickly emerged from the epidemic-induced slump and consolidated its recovery momentum for a brighter outlook.

由于有效的防疫措施和及时的稳增长政策，中国经济很快摆脱了疫情引发的经济衰退，巩固了经济向好势头。

Curbing the virus

疫情防控

To cope with the constantly evolving epidemic situation, China has been dynamically optimizing its control measures while enhancing the treatment and vaccination capacity, effectively safeguarding the lives and health of its 1.4 billion population at minimum costs.

为应对不断变化的疫情形势，中国持续动态优化防控措施，同时提高医疗救治能力和疫苗接种能力，以最低成本有效保护14亿人的生命安全和健康。

As of Jan 13, 92.9 percent of the Chinese population has been fully vaccinated, with more than 90 percent of people above 60 covered by vaccination.

截至1月13日，中国疫苗全程接种率已达92.9%，60岁以上老年人接种覆盖率超过90%。

With Omicron much less pathogenic and deadly, China, in December last year, announced ten new measures to lift numerous COVID-19 restrictions. On Jan 8, its management of COVID-19 was officially downgraded from Class A to Class B.

随着奥密克戎变异株致病力和毒力明显减弱，中国在去年12月宣布了新十条措施，以解除多项疫情防控限制。1月8日，将新型冠状病毒感染从“乙类甲管”调整为“乙类乙管”。

Less than one month after the optimization of COVID-19 response measures in December 2022, China reported declining numbers of fever patients and critical COVID-19 cases as both had passed the peak.

中国优化疫情防控措施后不到一个月，报告发热患者和重症患者人数均度过高峰，出现下降。

中国民生银行首席经济学家温彬表示，今年国内需求升温将推动中国经济好转，预计全年GDP增速约为5.5%。

Aside from the overall economic growth, China also made significant headway in maintaining consumer price stability, guaranteeing food and energy security, and improving people's livelihoods.

除了总体经济增长之外，中国实现了就业、物价的基本稳定，粮食安全、能源安全和人民生活得到有效保障，

He cited China's ample room for monetary policy maneuvers, low inflation rate, and strong consumption recovery momentum.

联合国经济和社会事务部经济分析和政策司全球经济监测中心主任哈米德·拉希德表示，中国“可以在刺激全球增长方面发挥重要作用”。他指出，中国有充足的货币政策空间、低通胀率和强劲的消费复苏势头。

Echoing Rashid's point, Bob Moritz, global chairman of PricewaterhouseCoopers, said he is bullish on China's economic outlook, given its strong consumer base, technological advancement, and top exporter's position.

普华永道全球主席鲍勃·莫里茨赞同拉希德的观点，他表示，鉴于中国强大的消费者基础、科技进步和全球最大出口国地位，他看好中国的经济前景。
