CGTN: How China delivers resilient, robust and high-quality economic growth
CGTN published an article on China’s economic performance in 2025, highlighting that high-quality development will remain at the core of China’s economic and social agenda over the next five years.
Despite a complex mix of domestic and external challenges, China’s economy grew by 5 percent in 2025, meeting its preset target and posting a strong performance by global standards.
According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), China’s GDP reached a record 140.19 trillion yuan (about $20.01 trillion) last year, reflecting progress in high-quality development.
In October 2025, the Communist Party of China (CPC) concluded a pivotal meeting that approved recommendations for the country’s 15th Five-Year Plan, a strategic blueprint guiding national development from 2026 to 2030. The recommendations underscore that high-quality development will remain at the core of China’s economic and social agenda over the next five years while reaffirming economic development as the central task.
Driven by rising consumption, resilient exports and continued technological innovation, China’s economy demonstrated strong resilience and vitality in 2025, delivering robust, high-quality growth.
Boosting consumption
In 2025, China’s retail sales of consumer goods, a major indicator of the country’s consumption strength, climbed 3.7 percent year on year, exceeding 50 trillion yuan for the first time, according to the NBS data. Measured by consumption volume, the country has become the world’s largest market across multiple key sectors and product categories.
A broader consumption upgrade was unfolded last year, as new scenarios and business models generate fresh demand, a quality-for-value mindset reshapes choices, and service spending takes a larger share.
The consumer goods trade-in program boosted sales across multiple categories, including home appliances, kitchen and bathroom ware, and telecommunications devices. It generated sales of 3.92 trillion yuan in 2024 and 2025, benefiting consumers on 494 million occasions.
The low-altitude economy is moving from concept to daily life, becoming a vivid example of how new scenarios and business models are creating fresh demand. Drones are increasingly serving as “delivery runners” while helicopter sightseeing offers travelers a brand-new aerial view of mountains, rivers and cityscapes.
Last year, spending on services accounted for 46.1 percent of per capita consumption. This shift is being fueled by nationwide efforts to innovate consumer services and improve the overall consumption environment, with strong momentum in sectors such as culture, tourism, entertainment and sporting events.
In 2026, China will put more effort into stimulating service consumption, optimizing consumer goods trade-in policies, and tapping the spending power of smaller cities to further unleash the consumption potential of 1.4 billion people.
Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao pinpointed a range of high-potential service sectors – from transport, housekeeping, online audio-visual content and extended-stay tourism, to emerging areas like live performances, sports events, gaming and emotional or experiential services – as priorities for policy support and market expansion.
High-standard opening up
China’s foreign trade continued its growth in 2025, rising 3.8 percent year on year to reach 45.47 trillion yuan, according to the General Administration of Customs. This marks the ninth consecutive year of expansion since 2017.
In 2025, China’s trade network continued to expand, covering more than 240 countries and regions worldwide, with import and export values growing in over 190 of these markets.
Notably, trade with countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) became a key growth engine. China’s trade with BRI partner countries reached 23.6 trillion yuan, up 6.3 percent year on year, accounting for 51.9 percent of the country’s total foreign trade value.
In addition, China’s export structure has undergone remarkable upgrading, with exports becoming increasingly greener and more technology-intensive. The country’s exports of high-tech products totaled 5.25 trillion yuan in 2025, up 13.2 percent year on year.
During the annual Central Economic Work Conference held last December, China emphasized efforts to support service exports, actively develop digital and green trade, reform and improve systems to promote foreign investment, and enhance overseas integrated service systems.
Citing the Recommendations of the CPC Central Committee for Formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan for Economic and Social Development, Wang Wentao said the country will take the initiative to open wider in the 15th Five-Year Plan period.
Stressing that the BRI is not a “solo performance” but a “chorus,” Wang said China will expand collaboration with partner countries in green development, digital economy and AI, and will make full use of various trade promotion platforms such as the China International Import Expo to better facilitate import trade, and optimize the sources and structure of imported goods to better meet the needs of industrial development and people’s pursuit of a better life.

Milestone Launches Project : Tsavkisi, The First Design-Code Community Near Tbilisi
Milestone has launched Project : Tsavkisi, a residential land-plot development situated on a hillside in the Tsavkisi area, just an 18-minute drive from Tbilisi, Georgia. The project comprises 63 individual land plots, each offering panoramic views of the surrounding forest and the city.
Tbilisi, Georgia, 2nd May 2026 – Milestone has launched Project : Tsavkisi, a residential land-plot development situated on a hillside in the Tsavkisi area, just an 18-minute drive from Tbilisi, Georgia. The project comprises 63 individual land plots, each offering panoramic views of the surrounding forest and the city.

Project : Tsavkisi is a thoughtfully planned community with a unified architectural identity, seamlessly integrated into the natural landscape. It is designed for those who wish to build a residence in a scenic setting while remaining just minutes away from central Tbilisi.
The presale is now open.
The development spans 10 hectares, with 24,000 m² dedicated to curated shared public spaces, including children’s playgrounds, sports courts, and forest walking paths. The project includes professionally maintained shared areas and green zones, along with 24/7 secured territory.
The architectural vision of Project : Tsavkisi is rooted in a landscape-oriented approach. To create a unique living environment, the project has developed a set of architectural guidelines – a Design Code, where every element is thoughtfully connected to the next. The Code extends from façade materials and roofing guidelines to color selection. A recommended palette of muted, earth-derived tones is designed to maintain visual harmony with the natural landscape. The project adopts a low-density development strategy that maintains visual openness and integrates seamlessly with the natural terrain, avoiding high retaining walls and other intrusive structural elements.
Homeowners are offered the flexibility to develop individual designs in accordance with the Design Code or to select from a catalogue of nine pre-designed residential houses. They have been created in collaboration with established architectural studios, recognized for their experience in residential design and landscape-driven planning.
The project is designed for residents who lead active urban lives but seek a home in a quiet, natural setting, without sacrificing their connection to the city. Project : Tsavkisi sets a benchmark for holistic suburban development, where each residence contributes to a unified architectural identity.

Press Release
Dark Watch Integration with Leading Service Platform Sets a New Standard of Care in Therapist Safety
Integration embeds real-time safety intelligence into therapists’ booking and payment workflows—helping therapy practices and service-based businesses identify and prevent high-risk interactions before appointments begin.
United States, 2nd May 2026 —May 1, 2026—Dark Watch, the embedded safety intelligence layer for modern commerce, today announced that its integration with a leading service-based platform is now live. The integration introduces a proactive safety capability designed to help prevent assaults and high-risk incidents in therapist-client environments.
Service-based businesses, particularly those in the wellness, spa, and personal care sectors, often involve private, one-on-one interactions between staff and clients. These environments are built on trust, but they can also expose therapists to elevated risk, such as from inappropriate behavior, harassment, boundary violations, and, in some cases, physical assault. Despite this, most booking and payment systems provide little to no visibility into potential risk before an appointment begins.
Historically, businesses have relied on reactive measures to mitigate these risks, e.g., incident reporting, internal notes, or post-event responses. The Dark Watch integration shifts that model upstream, enabling businesses to identify potential risk signals before an appointment is confirmed or a client arrives.
“A service-based business should not have to rely on reactive measures to reduce risk,” said Noel Thomas, CEO of Dark Watch. “Therapists are operating in one-on-one settings where the risk is real, and expectations are changing. Businesses shouldn’t have to choose between experience and protection. Dark Watch embeds security directly into the booking and payment layer, delivering real-time risk mitigation at the moment it matters most. The result is a new standard of care—one that protects therapists, strengthens brand trust, and delivers measurable safety benefits without disrupting the client experience.”
Through the integration, Dark Watch’s intelligence layer is embedded directly into booking and payment workflows. As appointments are scheduled, the system evaluates a range of risk signals that help identify patterns associated with prior inappropriate behavior, unsafe interactions, or indicators that warrant additional review.
The integration enables businesses to receive discreet, real-time insights at the moment of booking—before a therapist is assigned, before a client arrives, and before a potentially unsafe interaction occurs.
For operators, this creates a new layer of protection: improving therapist safety by identifying high-risk appointments early, increasing operational confidence when interacting with new clients, reducing the likelihood of incidents, and supporting staff retention in roles where safety concerns can drive turnover.
By embedding this capability directly into the platform layer, businesses can adopt proactive safety without adding friction to the booking experience or requiring additional tools. The system operates quietly in the background, preserving the client experience while enhancing staff protection.
The launch reflects a broader shift across the experience economy. Platforms are increasingly expected to safeguard not only transactions, but also the people behind them. As awareness grows around therapist safety in one-on-one service environments, proactive protection is becoming a critical expectation and an emerging standard of care.
Dark Watch’s technology is gaining traction across a growing set of platforms spanning payments, financial services, and real-world commerce systems. With multiple platform deployments now live or underway, the company continues to expand its footprint as a safety intelligence layer embedded directly into the infrastructure that powers everyday interactions.
Together, these deployments are establishing a new standard: protecting therapists and staff before the interaction begins.

Dark Watch Partners with Pangea to Bolster Financial Crime Intelligence Across Global Payments
Dark Watch’s embedded threat intelligence now integrates with Pangea’s global payments infrastructure to enable the detection of trafficking networks, fraud, and illicit activity.
United States, 2nd May 2026—Dark Watch, which provides embedded safety and threat intelligence technology, today announced that it is entering a strategic partnership with Pangea, the AI-powered financial infrastructure platform for managing global currency flows and cross-border payments. By integrating Dark Watch’s intelligence platform with Pangea, the joint solution is able to identify and monitor financial activity associated with illicit networks. These include human trafficking operations, illicit massage businesses, and organized criminal enterprises that exploit digital payment ecosystems.
Through the partnership, Dark Watch’s intelligence layer now integrates directly into financial workflows used by organizations operating internationally—including nonprofits, ministries, and global institutions serving vulnerable communities.
Dark Watch’s technology analyzes signals from over 1,400 intelligence sources across the open web, deep web, and proprietary datasets. It identifies risk indicators tied to over 450 million global profiles. Embedded into payment and compliance processes, this intelligence helps organizations identify high-risk actors, locations, and networks before transactions occur.
“Financial networks are increasingly on the front lines of detecting and preventing criminal activity,” said Noel Thomas, CEO of Dark Watch. “By partnering with Pangea, we’re bringing intelligence-grade insights directly into global financial infrastructure—helping organizations detect illicit activity earlier while protecting legitimate commerce and humanitarian work.”
Pangea delivers infrastructure that helps organizations manage foreign exchange exposure and move funds across borders with greater transparency and governance. The platform is widely used by organizations operating in emerging and frontier markets, where compliance risks and fragmented financial systems can make safe financial operations difficult. Customers rely on Pangea because the ability to prevent fraud, trafficking exposure, and other illicit activity is increasingly critical, especially for nonprofits and ministries moving funds globally.
“Global organizations doing the most important work in the world — often serving vulnerable communities, youth, and those in need — deserve financial infrastructure that’s as safe as it is fast,” said Aeron Sullivan, CEO of Pangea. “Our clients can’t afford exposure to fraud, trafficking, or predatory actors, and frankly, neither can the people they serve. Partnering with Dark Watch means they can operate globally with confidence, with bad actors stopped before they ever gain access.”
The collaboration is expected to benefit financial institutions, fintech platforms, and nonprofit organizations seeking stronger visibility into criminal networks that increasingly operate through legitimate financial channels.
Together, Dark Watch and Pangea aim to equip global organizations with tools to identify risk earlier, strengthen compliance programs, and contribute to broader international efforts to combat human trafficking, organized crime, and financial exploitation.
