surge
n 1: a sudden forceful flow [syn: {rush}, {spate}, {surge},
{upsurge}]
2: a sudden or abrupt strong increase; “stimulated a surge of
speculation”; “an upsurge of emotion”; “an upsurge in violent
crime” [syn: {surge}, {upsurge}]
If we’re doing this, a small surge during an economic trade war targeted mostly towards the country is quite strong. It is abrupt. Fits the definition well. I love lawyering.
Strong economic growth is typically defined as a GDP growth rate of 3% or higher. 2% can also be considered healthy, depending on the economic context.
“orly?” Do you usually talk like an insufferable Redditor?
We measure the improvement of material conditions of the working class. China serviced that far better than the west and their economic growth to maintain that ideal against a unprecedented trade war is indeed strong.
We still doing this? Let’s compare American manufacturing industry too while we stroke off about GDP…lmfao
Kindly follow the entire conversation if you want to argue. My comment was written to a false claim about economic growth analysis.
The working class in China is not seeing any improvement in their living standards right now, if that’s your argument.
0.8% is not a “surge”. If the average Chinese worker received a pay increase (and the haven’t this year) of 0.8% nobody would claim that was a surge in their earnings.
This Bloomberg article explains that the first months if the year showed a contraction of industrial profits, but profits rebounded in March bringing the first quarter to positive industry wide increase in profits. It’s a surge because March profits grew to the extent that they tipped the average for the quarter. It might be confusing if you don’t have the industry context .
0.8% is a surge?
Given that there’s a trade war going on that aims to choke off China’s exports, that’s certainly a surge.

Strong increase? 0.8% is “strong”?
In economics terms, 1 percent growth is considered very good. Yes, 0.8 isn’t 1 percent, but it’s pretty close.
orly?

“gdp is everything lol” We aren’t neoliberals.

It depends on context. And when one of the world’s most powerful countries is sanctioning and tariffing you, that growth still speaks volumes.

2.6% rise in 1 month is fine to call a surge
