BEIJING: Rising global economic uncertainties, especially those caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, won’t stop China’s pace of building a moderately prosperous society by year-end, as the country’s “dual circulation” development road map is set to offer new drivers of growth, said a senior scholar.
Liu Wei, president of Renmin University of China, said that despite a series of risks and challenges, it is “entirely possible” for China to achieve the goal of building a well-off society in an all-around way, which is scheduled to be achieved by the end of the country’s 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-20) period.
