.@JoeBiden America's GDP growth was 5.6% meanwhile with your help China's GDP grew by 8.1% for the most growth in more than 10 yrs.https://t.co/Iz0bwgrvZc Nice job helping our biggest enemy with their economy. What is your percentage of that increase after taxes. @Unitedminingal

8.1% ?
* With Evergrande "Crisis"
* With Coal Shortage
* With Tech Sector "Crack-down"
* With No Foreign Tourism
* With stagnant "Total Factor Productivity"

When the West gives financial advice, ignore it.
They're looking out for their interests.https://t.co/a2i6VW9pGS

CNBC acknowledges 8.1% but snuffles out flaws.

#Economics #China #GDP +8.1%, even after the positive performance in 2020 (+2.2%)

China's economies faces challenges but, unlike many other countries, Europe included, they address them and in most cases solve them

That awkward moment when the neoliberal West opted to "save the economy" ahead of saving people's lives, and ended up with a huge recession on top of hundreds of thousands of deaths.

China's economy expanded 8.1% last year, far exceeding the government's own targets. https://t.co/RKL17NS0Nj

Yep the mainstream media angle is to just ignore the 8.1% and focus on the last quarter, hence CNN runs its opening paragraph with: "deepening real estate crisis, renewed Covid outbreaks and Beijing's strict no-tolerance approach to controlling the virus"https://t.co/j0ADcpslxa

.@CNNBusiness: China's economy expanded 8.1% last year, far exceeding the government's own targets. But weakening growth in the closing months of 2021 suggest that trouble is still on the horizon. @lauraliuhe explains. https://t.co/EkWDqyOxXy

China’s economy slowed on real estate troubles late last year, with year-on-year growth in the 4th quarter of 4 percent. Full year said to be 8.1 percent. https://t.co/QeLn1ijEBt

China still learning the lesson America and Japan have half-learned. Can't grow on exports alone, can't grow on real estate bubble 'wealth effects' either. Can only grow when labor can buy what labor makes. https://t.co/QtE9HhlePd

Good article. Among other things it cites Li Daokui's December speech in which he warned of difficulties ahead: "Looking at the next five years as a whole, it may be the most difficult period since our reform and opening up 40 years ago."https://t.co/JEr8uKe9J8
