**Beijing, China** – China’s top leaders, addressing the National People’s Congress, unveiled an ambitious plan to reignite the nation’s slowing economy, emphasizing domestic consumption and technological self-reliance in the face of escalating trade tensions with the United States. Aiming for a 5% growth target, the government is urging citizens to increase spending while simultaneously downplaying its reliance on exports as the trade war intensifies. The plan also includes a significant push to transform China into a global technological leader, directly challenging US dominance in the sector. This assertive economic strategy comes as the government projects an image of stability and confidence on the world stage. The announcement follows news of increased European Union defense spending and speculation surrounding a potential strategic Bitcoin reserve held by former US President Donald Trump.
