GROWTH TARGET IN FOCUS

Chinese leaders pledged on Thursday to push to hit the 2024 economic growth target of roughly 5% and stop declines in the housing market, state media reported, citing a Politburo meeting.
However
The planned fiscal expansion is the latest attempt by Chinese policymakers to revive an economy grappling with deflationary pressures and in danger of missing this year's growth target due to a sharp property downturn and frail consumer confidence.

This won't be enough. China at least require a trillion to revive its economy for real.

I was just reading on reddit they might be putting some of that into bitcoin. I dont know how honest that is.

First of all Reddit is just a crap and this news about investing in Bitcoin is an example. Another thing, Bitcoin is for individual, it's not for governments. So, basically, until you aren't out of that crap, you'll get baseless things in your mind.

Reddit is crap? I enjoy seeing the chaos on there.

India is also issuing a pretty huge amount of debt for them in 6.6 trillion rupees or ~$80 billion in the next few months. Seems like everyone is now trying to restart their economies with government lending like the US did in the prior years.
reply
That's true but India's purpose is not the same as China's. As you said everyone is trying to restart their economies, I don't think India needs to stimulate its economy, at leat not now.
