The global economy is stumbling with rising commodity price, supply chain disruption, slow economic growth, and most importantly, a tremendous amount of uncertainty that arising both locally and globally. The Chinese economy is no exception.
One and a half years into its 14th Five-year plan, China's economic growth is facing headwinds with only 0.4% growth in 2022Q2, the lowest since 2020Q2.
