China's economy is expected to expand by 7.9 percent in 2021, nearly double the global growth rate predicted for the year, the World Bank said in its forecast on Tuesday.
"Growth in China is projected to accelerate to 7.9 percent this year—1 percentage point above the June forecast—reflecting the release of pent-up demand and a quicker-than-expected resumption of production and exports," the 189-member global lender said in a statement at the release of the 2021 Global Economic Prospects.
In October, the International Monetary Fund has predicted China will reach 8.2 percent growth this year, after becoming the only major economy to show positive growth in 2020.

Bomi, a county in the #Tibet autonomous region, sits among snow-capped mountains and is home to more than 2,000 glaciers. However, it is most famous for the "Red Building", whose revolutionary history makes it a key attraction for tourists. The name reflects both the building's color and China's revolutionary spirit.
In 1959, the central government announced the dissolution of the local Tibetan government and the launch of democratic reforms to replace the dominant feudal serfdom system. The building is best known for its role as a command center during the "Battle to defend Zhamu", which occurred in January 1959, during an armed rebellion by members of the Tibetan upper class.
In 2013, the Red Building was designated a national cultural relic protection site. It has since been the subject of government-led protection efforts. In 2018, a project was launched and led by the county's cultural bureau to collect documents about the building and Bomi's revolutionary history.
