China's Bullish 5% Growth Goal Seen as 'Target Without a Plan' - Bloomberg

China set a bullish target of around 5% growth this year as top leaders try to boost confidence in the world’s second-largest economy. But for some analysts, Premier Li Qiang’s lack of details on how to get there was out of step with the nation’s deep challenges.

The country’s No. 2 official announced China would maintain last year’s growth goal as the annual parliamentary session opened on Tuesday. That was a clear signal Beijing wants to put a floor under the economy’s slowdown, marking only the second year in a decade that Beijing didn’t lower its main economic target. The last time was 2018, when dealing with the start of a US trade war.
