Target: The State Council of the People's Republic of China and the National Development and Reform Commission
Goal: We call on the Chinese government to implement robust, people-centered stimulus measures, strengthen the social safety net, and invest in green, high-tech industries to secure a fair and resilient economic future for all.
Recent reports reveal that China's factory output growth has dropped to an eight-month low, while retail sales have slowed sharply. These trends signal deepening economic insecurity for millions of workers and families, especially as the property sector continues to stagnate and job security remains uncertain.
Despite previous policy measures, the benefits have faded, leaving the economy vulnerable to global shocks, extreme weather, and excessive competition. Meanwhile, falling home prices are eroding household wealth, further undermining consumer confidence and spending.
It is clear that more ambitious, people-first policies are urgently needed. We urge the government to prioritize direct support for workers and families, expand public investment in green and high-tech sectors, and strengthen protections for the most vulnerable. Only by centering the needs of ordinary people can China achieve sustainable growth and social stability.
