China’s Vice Premier Liu He has claimed that the country has already overcome the peak of coronavirus infections after the lifting of major restrictions and that «life is back to normal», in a call for investment during the World Economic Forum in Davos (Switzerland).
The Chinese government has recovered with Liu, responsible for the economic policies of the Asian giant, the first level presence in the Swiss city. His speech was one of the most awaited, especially due to the uncertainty generated by the abrupt end of the ‘zero COVID’ policy.
For this year, Beijing expects Chinese growth to return to its «normal trend», with a view for example to stabilizing the housing market. In 2022, Chinese GDP grew by 3 percent, far short of its 5.5 percent target.
The Chinese authorities have provided little data on the recent evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic, but last weekend they did acknowledge some 60,000 deaths following the lifting of restrictions.
