flag Chinese provinces cut 2026 growth goals as economy slows, sparking talk of lower national target.

flag More than a dozen Chinese provinces, including Guangdong and Zhejiang, have lowered their 2026 growth targets amid weakening economic momentum, with fixed-asset investment dropping 3.8% in 2025—the first decline since records began. flag This shift fuels speculation that Beijing may reduce the national GDP target to 4.5%-5.0%, down from 5%, as property sector struggles and fiscal pressures persist. flag While national growth reached 5.0% in 2025 on strong exports, retail sales and investment show signs of stagnation, prompting analysts to warn that sustained growth above 4.5% may require bolder policy measures.
