The industrial production of China continued to record stable growth in April, while the economic performance of the country remained stable in the face of unfavorable external factors.
China’s value -added industrial production increased by 6.1% in annual shift in April, the State Office of Statistics (BE BS) said on Monday.
Last month, the manufacturing sector saw its value added production increase by 6.6% over one year, with an increase of 9.8% for the manufacture of equipment and 10% for the manufacture of high technologies, according to official data.
Over the first four months of this year, the country’s industrial production increased by 6.4% compared to the previous year, according to data.
Industrial production measures the activity of major companies whose main annual turnover is at least 20 million yuan (around 2.78 million dollars).
Thanks to effective political support, the industrial sector has maintained a relatively rapid expansion this year, making solid progress in the high-end, intelligent and green transformation, said Fu Linghui, BE BES, at a press conference on Monday.
The data published Monday shows that the production of 3D printing equipment, industrial robots and new energy vehicles increased by 60.7%, 51.5% and 38.9% in April in April. During the first quarter of this year, the country’s industrial profits amounted to nearly 1,510 billion yuan, up 0.8% compared to the same period in 2024.
Despite this positive trend, Mr. Fu warned that some companies still encountered difficulties in their activities and has called for more efforts to increase domestic demand and implement support policies in order to promote development focused on innovation.
