"We think the intention is to keep growth in the 5-6per cent range in 2022, with the government likely to attach greater importance to curbing downside risks than to boosting upside potential. Fiscal policy will likely do the heavy lifting from H2-2021, with monetary policy playing a supportive role," said Ding Shuang, chief economist for Greater China and North Asia at Standard Chartered.

Analysts expect ample liquidity conditions with a loosening bias throughout the year to offset rising bond supply and heavy maturities of medium-term lending facility loans. Those expectations have strengthened after China's Politburo, the ruling Communist Party's top decision-making body, called for "cross-cyclical" policy adjustments with an eye on longer-term stability and sustainability of macroeconomic policy.

In its annual report to parliament on China's military, a copy of which was reviewed by Reuters, Taiwan's Defence Ministry presented a far graver view than it did last year, when the report said China still lacked the capability to launch a full assault on Taiwan.
