Xie Feng, Ambassador of China to the United States: It is unwise to underestimate China, and it is not true to criticize China, and it will not succeed to contain China. According to the official of the Chinese Embassy in the United States, on December 11, 2024, u.s.-china business council held the 2024 annual celebration dinner in Washington. In his speech, Xie Feng said that China's economic operation is generally stable, progressing steadily, and it is confident to stabilize the market and prevent risks, with high-quality development and vitality, and there is potential for sustained recovery. In the first three quarters of this year, China's GDP increased by 4.8% year-on-year, which not only ranked among the major economies in terms of growth rate, but also increased the "gold content", "new content" and "green content" of economic development, ranking 11th in the global innovation index. As the package of incremental policies continued to show remarkable results, the growth rate of consumption, investment and export in October picked up, the real estate transaction volume rose one after another, the manufacturing purchasing managers' index returned to the boom zone, and the turnover of tens of thousands of brands in the "double 11" shopping festival doubled. Xie Feng emphasized that China's economy has always been growing under the challenges of wind and rain, and it is confident to achieve its economic growth target this year. Next year, it will implement more active macro policies to prevent and resolve risks in key areas and external shocks, and it will remain the biggest engine of world economic growth in the future. The sea can't be stirred, and it always rushes. It is unwise to underestimate China, it is not true to criticize China, and it is even more impossible to contain China.Trump: I met Harold Daggett, president of Ila.Qualcomm: CTO James Thompson will retire on February 3rd, 2025.
