description The article explored the impact of the pandemic and the ensuing quarantine on the Chinese economy and its attractiveness to foreign investors. At the end of the first quarter of 2020, there was a sharp decline in almost all Chinese socio-economic indicators. The year to year decline in GDP, retail sales and exports by 6.8%, 19% and 11.4% respectively, looked especially dramatic. Against that negative background, the question arose, firstly, about the urgent launch of the program to stimulate the economy and, secondly, the need to develop and implement a new model of economic development for the PRC.After a slight delay, the Chinese authorities launched a series of fiscal and monetary measures aimed at supporting the national economy, including: reducing or canceling various payments to the budget (taxes, social security contributions, etc.), reducing loan rates, the ratio of reserve requirements, direct and indirect payments to citizens, etc.Thanks to government support measures, the main socio-economic indicators for the third quarter of 2020 showed growth, although less than Beijing would like. The lack of private consumption by Chinese households remains the main problem.Implementing support measures, the Chinese authorities have unveiled a new strategy for economic development, called «dual circulation», which aims to stimulate domestic private consumption.The authors come to the conclusion that, firstly, despite external and internal challenges, China, as a whole, will be able to achieve the indicative indicators laid down in the 13th five-year plan for the social and economic development of the PRC for 2016-2020.
