China Q&A | Why is the world optimistic about the Chinese economy?

In this episode of China Q&A, Huang Yiping, Dean of the National School of Development at Peking University, shares his insights on the growing global optimism toward the Chinese economy.

He points to two notable drivers: the emergence of DeepSeek, viewed as a sign of China’s advancing AI capabilities, and the broader perception of policy stability in China amid growing governance uncertainties elsewhere.

Huang highlights that China's emphasis on long-term policy consistency, along with its support for multilateral trade and investment frameworks, has contributed to its role as a source of relative stability in the global economic landscape.
