The dashboard is part of ORCA’s India-China Trade Project. Synopsis: The India-China Trade dashboard- Annual is a comprehensive visualisation of yearly merchandise trade between the two economies. It captures India’s imports and exports to China between 2011-12 to 2021-22 based on the Harmonised System (HS Codes).

As the Government Work Report is largely known as an agenda document, it sets a direction for the economy in the coming year, which is currently relying on two wheels of stimulus and innovation amidst potential US-China trade war. Persistent deflationary pressure and weak demand has compelled China to introduce fiscal stimulus despite fears of growing debt burden. Private sector is also being revived as it acts as a primary driver of innovation in China, provided it aligns with the Party directions. While China will hope to boost demand in the coming months with the increased fiscal stimulus, the sustained pessimism among Chinese consumers along with uncertainties in the global economic landscape can limit the effectiveness of these measures.

China's leaders have framed corruption as a threat to the Party’s existence and country’s stability. Several anti-corruption campaigns were carried out in the early years of the PRC, and the intensification of corruption since the reform and opening up of China prompted vigorous campaigns by successive leaders. Under Xi Jinping, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (中央纪律检查委员会) and National Supervisory Commission (国家监察委员会) have taken on greater significance. China's anti-corruption campaign since 2013 has investigated and prosecuted many high-level members of the Party, PLA and various institutions across the Party-State-Society spectrum in China. The far-reaching anti-corruption campaign conducted during Xi Jinping’s tenure has impacted elite politics in China as well as policy implementation.
