Li qiang there talking about education reform. Li qiang there talking about education and reform. Li qiang there talking about education and the reform. Li qiang there talking about education and the needi reform. Li qiang there talking i about education and the need to develop it for a modern economy. Well get the thoughts of our Business Reporter on that in just of our Business Reporter on that injust a of our Business Reporter on that in just a bit. But first, lets come back to that big sort of Headline Figure thats come out, where theyve stated, or li qiang has stated, that target for gdp for 2024 is 5 . Thats right. So that all emerged in the last five or so minutes, steve. Maniage is wondered whether or not theyd be able to back up that figure. 5. 2 , of course, in 2023. Whether or not, given its coming off now a relatively higher base, whether they were going to be able to achieve this. Around 5 does seem to be hedging their bets somewhat. Chinas economy has been facing a number of challenges and he hasnt shied away from those in his speech either. He mentioned, for example, the geopoliticalrics, the challenges, particularly when it comes to washington, but also really what were seeing in this speech so far is it does seem to be something of a morale booster, trying to get the troops to go out and spend and, of course, one of the Biggest Challenges facing chinas economy at the moment has been consumption. And encouraging confidence in the consumer to go out and spend. So there are a couple of lines. He said, for example, that there was favourable conditions outweigh the unfavourable ones and that china will surge ahead towards a great future. Hes also spent a lot of the speech lauding the past achievements of the past year, talking about things like science and technology, progress when it comes to the environment, even, for example, lauding the comac airliner taking together skies domestically. Thats been a big focus of his speech, trying to rebuild confidence. We focus of his speech, trying to rebuild confidence. Focus of his speech, trying to rebuild confidence. We did hear him speaking rebuild confidence. We did hear him speaking just rebuild confidence. We did hear him speaking just before rebuild confidence. We did hear him speaking just before we him speaking just before we came to you, katie, talking about the need for education development, moving into sort of high tech sector. Why is that so important to chinas economy . That so important to chinas econom . ~ ,. , , economy . Well, they really see it as a very economy . Well, they really see it as a very important economy . Well, they really see it as a very important element i it as a very important element of growth. Now, of course, one of growth. Now, of course, one of the big issues for china too is it has been somewhat phased out of the International Technology sphere. Weve seen for example of course the us restricting chip exports to china and that, of course, hampers a countrys economic development. So they want to grow their tech sector. As i say, they lauded a lot of the achievements of the past year when it comes to tech innovation. They see it, of course, as their ticket to the future, really, when it comes to that. Another couple of headlines were seeing were expecting Defence Spending to be announced in the order of about 7 according to reuters and bloomberg. Thats more than that 5 gdp target. So were waiting for that announcement as well. Plenty still to watch. Thanks, katie. Well leave it there for now. Katie silver speaking to us from our newsroom here in singapore. Us Business Leaders are also paying close attention to what chinese officials have to say as geopolitical tensions have eroded confidence for Many American companies that rely on doing business there. Heres what the president of the American Chamber of commerce had to say about investment ties between washington and beijing. In ties between washington and beiinu. , beijing. In the past, the chinese beijing. In the past, the Chinese Government beijing. In the past, the Chinese Government tended to focus more on the supply side by investing in infrastructure. And i think at this point, there is a lack of confidence, consumer confidence, so how do we get the consumers to start spending, lets say, is a challenge for now. We see Bank Deposits going up while spending is going down in the past few years, particularly during covid. So i think the government does have a tool box to apply to stimulate the growth by, you know, focusing on the consumer side. And i think there are talks about a programme to support households in terms of replacing some major ticket items like home appliance, you know, and automobile purchases, replacing the existing ones. So i think that will be a focus, that should be a focus for the government to stimulate consumption rather than just simply focusing on investing in infrastructure. Now, i understand youve said in the past that us china relations are better than in previous years. So how can sort of the political space impact the economic space . The economic space . Well, seepolitical the economic space . Well, geopolitical tensions the economic space . Well, geopolitical tensions has i the economic space . Well, i geopolitical tensions has been a concern forforeign investors in china, including american companies. Many of those are members. And because of the uncertainty, right, because Companies Look for predictability. So since last year, i think the two sides of the governments have tried to stabilise the bilateral relationship with very high level talks between the two governments and thats a good sign. And hopefully the two the newly established channels of communications between the two governments will continue and us business will, you know, certainly provide our support. And i think overall, we are hopeful that the bilateral relationship will remain stable so that we can pursue Business Opportunities in china for the long term. In other news, elon musk made headlines for suing openai and its ceo Sam Alternativeman last week, but this week hes altman, last week but this week hes facing a lawsuit of his own. Elon musk is being accused of unfairly depriving four top twitter executives out of their severance. The former execs say mr musk owes them more than 128 million collectively and theyre suing. Heres the discrepancy. Mr musk said at the time that he fired them for cause, and therefore he didnt need to pay them severance. But the former executives say thats not true. Theyd been on the forefront of efforts to make mr musk follow through on his acquisition of twitter after he offered and then backed away. The Group Includes twitter� s former chief executive, the companys former chief financial officer, the former chief legal officer and the former general counsel. The lawsuit was filed in federal court in california on monday. Now, there are more than 25 safe and effective vaccines to prevent disease, but millions still die every year, because the vaccines dont get to the people that need them. One company has been looking at ways to streamline the process. My colleague Lara Lewington from bbc� s click went along to find out. Chikungunya is one of the infections thats spread by mosquitoes. Its usually confined to sub saharan africa, but has started to spread. One vaccine has just been approved by the food and Drug Administration in the us, but others are working on it too. One of them is the bristol based start up imophoron. Its developed a new synthetic protein called addomer. The protein is adorned with parts of the target virus but its not infectious itself. Its a different approach to how other vaccines like the covid 19 ones were made, but theres one big advantage. The addomer can be produced, stored, transported and brought to the people at mpient to the people at ambient temperatures, which can go up to 50 degrees. This is a big advantage to other vaccines, which depend on a functioning cold chain. Millions of doses of vaccines are lost every year because of inadequate refrigeration, especially when being sent to developing countries. Part of the issue is transporting the vaccine from the distribution depot, where it is kept in cold chain conditions, to the site where its going to be administered. It could be hundreds of miles. And then when they get to the facilities where theyre going to deploy the vaccine, more often than not, theres not any refrigeration. Another big advantage of the technique being used here is that it could be synthesised to target more than one disease in one shot. So when we put it then into the cryoelectron microscope, the Electron Beam can go through it and we will see our vaccine particles. The microscope can zoom in to 0. 1 nanometre detail, thats one ten millionth of a millimetre. These raw images may not look like much to you or me, but they are a vital part of the process. And if they do succeed, the possibilities in other areas could be huge too, such as Cancer Vaccines that train the bodys Immune System to make antibodies against a tumour. This is a small company, though, up against a big challenge, and big pharma, and these vaccines arent in humans yet, so theres a way to go. Before we go, a reminder that Chinas National Peoples Congress is under way. Theres president xijinping. Well have more in the next edition of Asia Business report.
