File photo taken on Nov. 12, 2017 shows a giant screen displaying total gross merchandise volume (GMV) of Alibaba's online marketplace Tmall for Singles' Day shopping spree in Shanghai, east China. Sales hit 168.2 billion yuan (about 26.5 billion U.S. dollars) in 24 hours of Tmall Global Shopping Festival on Nov. 11, 2017. China aims to see economic expansion at around 6.5 percent this year, according to the government work report released Monday. The projected economic expansion this year should also be within reach without much difficulty, according to Chinese economic observers. This judgment is based on the prospect that China is to enjoy a thriving year for consumption, a higher-quality growth and a further opening-up market, which are expected to make China continue its role of stabilizing the global economy.
