The Chinese economy grew more than expected in 2020, even as the rest of the world is still suffering due to pandemic. The world’s second largest economy expanded 2.3 per cent in 2020 compared to 2019, according to the government statistics released on January 18.
However, it is China’s slowest annual growth rate since 1976 when the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) shrunk 1.6 per cent during the time of the social and economic tumult.
