China boosts confidence in world economy amid global uncertainties
The year 2025 is around the corner, but the economic outlook for the world is not as exciting as the coming of the New Year. International organizations like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) warn that the global economy faces risks of low growth, high debt, weak investment, and rising economic fragmentation. And the uncertainty linked to the incoming U.S. administration only further complicates the global economic landscape. At this critical juncture, China, the world's second-largest economy, is working actively to instill confidence and stability in global development. In early December, China hosted the "1+10" Dialogue in Beijing, bringing together the heads of 10 prominent international economic organizations. Focusing on the themes of global development and common prosperity, the dialogue delivered a powerful message in favor of multilateralism and economic growth. It also reaffirmed the shared commitment of China and the participating organizations to promoting free trade and advancing economic globalization.

Andrey, a Russian entrepreneur living in Brazil who, fearing retaliation, asked that NPR not use his last name, said Telegram has become one of the few places Russians can access independent news about the war. On Feb. 27, however, he admitted from his Russian-language account that "Telegram channels are increasingly becoming a source of unverified information related to Ukrainian events." The news also helped traders look past another report showing decades-high inflation and shake off some of the volatility from recent sessions. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' February Consumer Price Index (CPI) this week showed another surge in prices even before Russia escalated its attacks in Ukraine. The headline CPI — soaring 7.9% over last year — underscored the sticky inflationary pressures reverberating across the U.S. economy, with everything from groceries to rents and airline fares getting more expensive for everyday consumers. Unlike Silicon Valley giants such as Facebook and Twitter, which run very public anti-disinformation programs, Brooking said: "Telegram is famously lax or absent in its content moderation policy." Stocks dropped on Friday afternoon, as gains made earlier in the day on hopes for diplomatic progress between Russia and Ukraine turned to losses. Technology stocks were hit particularly hard by higher bond yields.
