中国国有媒体《经济日报》连续两天刊登头版社论，反驳中国经济失去动力及全球经济面临“中国冲击2.0”的说法。该社论称，全球经济真正问题是不断上升的保护主义，而非中国强劲出口。同时，它将4.5%至5%的增长目标称为“合理区间”。
《经济日报》作为中国领先的国有媒体，在过去两天连续刊登头版社论，反击有关中国经济“失去速度”和引发“中国冲击2.0”的指称。
社论将“中国冲击2.0”描述为源于西方焦虑的虚假叙事，并强调中国强劲出口并非全球经济问题根源，而是保护主义抬头才是真正威胁。
社论还指出，这一增长目标体现了中国“战略从容和政策远见”，以追求稳健、长期发展，已平息经济“失去速度”的说法。同时，过低增长率将无法支持产业升级和技术创新，因此4.5%至5%的区间合理。
这些社论发表于2026年4月2日报道之际，回应了国际上对中国出口和经济增长的关切。
