China's gross domestic product (GDP) grew 5.3 percent year on year in the first quarter of 2024, data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed Tuesday.
國家統計局16日發布的數據顯示，初步核算，一季度國內生產總值（GDP）同比增長5.3%。

"China's high-quality development has made new achievements in the first quarter. The national economy has sustained recovery momentum and got off to a good start," Sheng Laiyun, deputy director of the NBS, told a press conference.
國家統計局副局長盛來運在新聞發布會上表示，今年一季度，中國高質量發展取得新成效，國民經濟延續回升向好態勢，開局良好。

China’s economy grew stronger than expected at the start of this year, mainly thanks to robust growth in high-tech manufacturing, according to CNN.
美國有線電視新聞網（CNN）分析稱，中國一季度經濟增速超出預期，這主要應歸功于高技術制造業的蓬勃發展。

Industrial production jumped 6.1% in the first quarter from a year ago, mainly thanks to strong growth in high-tech manufacturing.
CNN指出，一季度中國全國規模以上工業增加值同比增長6.1%，這主要得益于高技術制造業的強勁增長。

In particular, the production of 3D printing equipment, charging stations for electric vehicles and electronic components all surged about 40% compared to a year earlier.
CNN注意到，充電樁、3D打印設備、電子元件產品產量同比均大幅增長40%左右。

Last month, an official survey showed China’s manufacturing purchasing managers’ index (PMI) expanded for the first time in six months. The Caixin/S&P manufacturing PMI, a privately run survey, also hit its strongest reading in more than a year, as overseas demand picked up.
CNN指出，中國國家統計局3月數據顯示，中國制造業采購經理指數（PMI）6個月以來重新回到擴張區間。隨著海外市場需求回暖，3月份的財新中國制造業PMI也創下了近一年來的新高。

The strong growth in January-March was supported by “broad manufacturing outperformance,” festivities-boosted household spending due to the Lunar New Year holidays and policies that helped boost investments, according to China economist Louise Loo of Oxford Economics.
牛津經濟研究院研究中國問題的經濟學家盧姿蕙表示，中國一季度經濟強勁增長主要得益于制造業整體表現優異，春節期間家庭消費顯著增長以及政府鼓勵投資的政策也起到了助推作用。

Associated Press noted that China's Industrial output for the first quarter was up 6.1% compared to the same time last year, and retail sales grew at an annual pace of 4.7%. Fixed investment grew 4.5% compared to the same period a year earlier.
美聯社注意到，一季度中國全國規模以上工業增加值同比增長6.1%，社會消費品零售總額同比增長4.7%，全國固定資產投資同比增長4.5%。

"The result is positive for the economy to hit its target," said Jeff Ng, head of Asia macro strategy at SMBC.
