Financial Reform Initiatives
Since 2022, China has gradually relaxed restrictions on foreign investment in the domestic financial market.

The COVID-19 pandemic posed severe challenges to China’s economy. In 2020, GDP growth was only 2.3%, the lowest in many years. To promote economic recovery, the government launched a series of fiscal stimulus policies, including large-scale infrastructure investments.

The government, enterprises, and individuals are actively participating and contributing to the reform.
