Qian Jin, Deputy Consul General of the Chinese Consulate General in New York, responded to the U.S. public opinion field's badmouthing of China's economy on March 1.

The fundamentals of stable and long-term improvement have not changed, and China will continue to be an important engine for world economic growth, he said. Qian Jin said that in the context of the world entering a new period of turmoil and change and the lack of global economic growth momentum, China's gross domestic product will exceed 126 trillion yuan in 2023.
