Given the economic loss in Q1 as a result of the ongoing #COVID-19, even if China's growth rate is rapidly pulled to more than 5% in Q2, Q3 and Q4, it is difficult to achieve a growth rate of over 3% in the whole year without the implementation of unimaginable #stimuluspolicies.

Whether China can recover from this shock in short term requires more efforts.

Specially, more active #fiscaldeficit policies are needed to revitalize state-owned assets.

Lastly, to draw lessons from the 2008 crisis and treat #SOEs and private enterprises fairly in a way more efficient than it did in 2008.
