said the change would have little impact on growth this year
China’s National Economic Census is a comprehensive survey conducted by the Chinese government to collect detailed data on the country’s economic activities. It is typically carried out every five years and aims to provide a complete picture of the structure, size, and performance of China’s economy. The census is managed by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) in collaboration with local governments.
NBS added:
“Overall, the Fifth National Economic Census has yielded fruitful results, with the major data objectively reflecting the new progress and achievements in China’s economic and social development over the past five years”
