Xi raises prospect of doubling China's GDP by 2035
Doubling the size of China's economy and income per capita by 2035 is "completely possible," President Xi Jinping said in a speech made public Tuesday explaining the ruling Communist Party's new five- and 15-year economic goals.
The proposals for China's 2021-25 economic plan and long-term targets for 2035 decided at last week's plenary session of the party's Central Committee were reported by the official Xinhua News Agency, as was Xi's speech.
China can meet the threshold for becoming a high-income country in the next five years, Xi said. But the proposals made no mention of specific growth rate targets, instead focusing on qualitative expressions.
By comparison, the president's November 2015 explanation of the proposal for the 2016-20 plan noted that gross domestic product would need to rise by 6.5% a year on average. The lack of numerical targets owes to the uncertainty created by factors including the coronavirus pandemic and the slumping global economy. Xi indicated that specific goals will be included in the outline to be passed by China's legislature, the National People's Congress, when it meets in March.
Doubling China's GDP in 15 years would require average annual growth of 4.7%. The U.S. Congressional Budget Office projects American GDP to reach $31 trillion in 2030. Assuming a constant yuan-dollar exchange rate, China's GDP would be nearly 80% that of the U.S. in 2030 and could surpass it in the mid-2030s. The five-year plan includes industrial policies aimed at strengthening China's position in its battle with the U.S. for tech dominance. It positions fields such as semiconductors and artificial intelligence as strategically significant, and calls for establishing self-reliant supply chains.
The latter goal appears to be primarily a response to Washington's string of sanctions against Chinese companies under President Donald Trump. A new key phrase refers to "autonomous and controllable" supply chain designs. "That means that they won't be affected even if hit with U.S. sanctions," a senior Chinese government official explained.
The document outlines plans for ensuring national economic security, such as making industrial systems more resilient to attacks. Other recommendations include increasing technological innovation, boosting research into core supply chain technologies and diversifying procurement. China has used talent educated abroad, including in the U.S., to foster industry at home. But with overseas research opportunities for Chinese under pressure as tensions between Beijing and Washington escalate, the proposal stresses "self-reliance and self-improvement" in science and technology. It urges tax breaks and other support for basic research, an area where China lags.
Emerging fields singled out for development include information technology, biotechnology, new energy sources and materials as well as so-called new-energy vehicles such as electrics. The Chinese plan also envisions "deep integration" of the internet, big data and AI into various industries.
The proposal's section on Hong Kong calls for "adhering to the rule of law" and "preventing external forces from interfering" in the territory's affairs.

Johnson & Johnson fails to overturn $2.12 billion baby powder verdict, plans Supreme Court appeal
Missouri’s highest court on Tuesday refused to consider Johnson & Johnson’s appeal from a $2.12 billion damages award to women who blamed their ovarian cancer on asbestos in its baby powder and other talc products. The Missouri Supreme Court let stand a June 23 decision by a state appeals court, which upheld a jury’s July 2018 finding of liability but reduced J&J’s payout from $4.69 billion after dismissing claims by some of the plaintiffs.
Johnson & Johnson said it plans to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. It said the verdict was the product of a “fundamentally flawed trial,” and “at odds with decades of independent scientific evaluations confirming Johnson’s Baby Powder is safe, does not contain asbestos and does not cause cancer.”
