English Summary

China’s economy grew 5 per cent year on year in Q1 2026, beating forecasts and marking an acceleration from Q4 2025’s 4.5 per cent — the weakest in three years. Officials say the start is solid but caution that external headwinds and domestic imbalances remain challenges.

中文总结

2026年第一季度，中国GDP同比增长5%，超越分析师预测的4.86%，较2025年第四季度的4.5%显著加速，后者为三年来最弱季度表现。国家统计局官员表示经济开局良好，但警告外部环境复杂严峻，供给强、需求弱的结构性矛盾依然突出。

Article

China’s economy grew 5 per cent year on year in the first quarter of 2026, putting Beijing on track to meet its annual growth target even as the US-Israeli war on Iran continues to cloud the global economic outlook.

The closely watched gross domestic product growth figure, released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) on Thursday, beat the 4.86 per cent forecast by economists polled by financial data provider Wind.

It marked an acceleration from the 4.5 per cent recorded in the last three months of 2025, which was China’s weakest quarterly growth in three years.

Mao Shengyong, deputy director of the statistics bureau, said the economy got off to a solid start in the first quarter, with major macroeconomic indicators improving and new growth drivers gaining momentum.

“However, we should be aware that the external environment is becoming more complex and volatile, the imbalance between strong supply and weak demand is still acute and the foundation for economic growth has yet to be consolidated.”

Retail sales rose by 1.7 per cent year on year in March, the NBS said, beating the Wind poll’s forecast of 1.6 per cent. In the first two months of the year, when data is typically combined to minimise distortions from the Chinese New Year holiday, they rose 2.8 per cent.

Teacher’s Tip

本文是典型的经济数据报道，建议学生学习三个重点：①"beat the forecast"和"on track"等经济新闻常用表达；②官方发言人使用"solid start"（稳健开局）等正向词汇，同时搭配"however"引出挑战的平衡写法；③年同比（year on year）和季度环比数据的区别。在阅读经济新闻时，注意观察数字是好于还是低于预期，这是判断市场反应的关键信号。
