It’s always baffling to see China publicly set concrete goals, then they either work towards it and achieve them or get very close. I have never seen anything like that in the US unless it’s something like “all student debt shall be considered for forgiveness by 2065” then 2065 hits and no one gives a shit about it because it was just a symbolic gesture
I'd say that's the point of a target though. You're meant to be able to hit it. Then you can set a new one. Much better than setting impossible or symbolic tasks and never even getting close.
they love doing this tbh, they set a target they know they will crush so they can hit the headlines and be very smug. its fun tho
