This is the slowest growth of the Chinese economy since the 2.3 per cent registered in GDP in 1974

China’s GDP sinks to 3% in 2022, second lowest in 50 years

This is the slowest growth of the Chinese economy since the 2.3 per cent registered in GDP in 1974

Hit hard by the zero-Covid policy and slump in the real estate market, China's economy shrank to three per cent in 2022, registering its second lowest growth rate in 50 years in the world's second-largest economy, according to official data released here on Tuesday.
The annual GDP of China totalled 121.02 trillion yuan (USD 17.94 trillion) in 2022, falling below the 5.5 per cent official target, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said.
The slow pace was blamed mainly on the strictly implemented zero-Covid policy leading to periodic lockdowns and the ruling Communist Party's crackdown on big industrial firms besides the lingering real estate crisis.
This is the slowest growth of the Chinese economy since the 2.3 per cent registered in GDP in 1974.
Significantly this year, China's GDP in terms of dollars declined from USD 18 trillion in 2021 to USD 17.94 trillion last year mainly due to a sharp rise of the dollar against RMB (the Chinese currency) in 2022.
In RMB terms, the Chinese economy last year posted 121.02 trillion yuan against the 2021 figure of 114.37 trillion yuan.
The GDP growth in the fourth quarter was 2.9 per cent year-on-year, compared with 3.9 per cent in the third quarter as it was hit hard by recurring covid lockdowns of various urban centres, including the top industrial and business hubs like Shanghai.

Strict patrolling, cell phone checking: China's forces mobilise to end protests

Strict patrolling, cell phone checking: China's forces mobilise to end anti-covid policy protests

The ongoing demonstrations are one of the largest uprisings the communist country has seen since the 1989 Tiananmen Square pro-democracy movement.&nbsp;

After ongoing protests in China against the zero COVID policy have grabbed global attention, the security forces in the country have started to mobilise to call off the demonstrations by strict patrolling on streets and checking cell phones of the protesters to warn them for the actions, CNN reported on Tuesday.
On Monday and Tuesday, as a large number of demonstrators assembled and filled the streets in several regions of China, the police in some places used surveillance techniques to frighten those who were opposing the strict zero-Covid policy of the communist party.
In some parts of China, protests have subsided due to the increased police presence, but strong demonstrations were seen in Shanghai, where demonstrators demanded the ouster of Xi two nights in a row. Tall barricades have entirely blocked the walkways on Urumqi Road, the major protest venue, making it nearly impossible for masses to gather, according to CNN.
The ongoing demonstrations are one of the largest uprisings the communist country has seen since the 1989 Tiananmen Square pro-democracy movement. Additionally, the response intended to disperse the ongoing protesters is probably going to make matters worse.
China is in the middle of some of its fiercest protests against stringent Covid curbs in the country, with many memes, chants and catchphrases going viral.&nbsp;

Several videos circulating on social media have shown crowds chanting the slogan "Communist Party step down, Down with Xi Jinping" in unison over a deadly fire in Urumqi, the capital of China's Xinjiang region that has unleashed excessive public outrage, Inside Over reported.
 Large-scale protests in China, especially in Xinjiang, are rare, given the extensive blanket of high-tech surveillance measures authorities have imposed on the region to quell what the government sees as separatist or extremist tendencies. Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Shanghai, where people were being bundled into police cars. Students have also demonstrated at universities in Beijing and Nanjing.
Shanghai's 25 million people were put under lockdown for two months earlier this year, an ordeal that provoked anger and protest. Chinese authorities have since then sought to be more targeted in their Covid-19 curbs. But that effort has been challenged by a surge in infections as China faces its first winter with the highly transmissible Omicron variant. According to reports, civilian protests are on the rise in the country since a fire in the city of Urumqi led to the deaths of 10 people. Locals and onlookers blame

A shocking video of a woman from China surfaced on social media where a woman can be seen being forcibly tested for Covid.

The video created a furore on social media with the netizens up in arms about the treatment meted out to the woman.

China’s stringent ‘zero-COVID’ policy is wreaking havoc in the city of Shanghai, which has been under lockdown for a month now. Most residents in mainland China’s biggest city are still not able to leave their housing compounds. 
The rest of China, too, has been dealing with a surge in Covid cases, preventive measures and stringent testing. 
China’s capital Beijing has shut more than 40 subway stations and 158 bus routes in and around Chaoyang district, the epicentre of Beijing’s outbreak. Mass testing is being done in the capital city too.
