China's economy is set to rebound this year as mobility and activity pick up after the lifting of pandemic restrictions, providing a boost to the global economy.

The IMF hails this as "good news for China and the world as the Chinese economy is now expected to contribute a quarter of global growth this year".
Against this backdrop, we look at Chinese forklift manufacturing this week in a special report which reflects this optimism.

FACT OF THE WEEK
Caffeine is the coffee plant's natural defence mechanism protecting it from pests and competing plants. The bitter-tasting caffeine is toxic to many insects when consumed in large doses. The insect's nervous system stops producing essential enzymes causing paralysis and eventual death. The highest concentration of caffeine is stored in the plant's seeds (the coffee beans).
