China was the first country hit by the coronavirus and suffered a huge economic slowdown at the beginning of the year.

But with COVID-19 under control, Beijing has been able to stage a strong recovery: its GDP for the third quarter grew 4.9%, compared to the same period last year.

This makes China the only major economy to post a significant rebound following the pandemic slump.
