Impact of U.S. Policies on China's Economy

China's economy faces significant challenges in light of the anticipated return of tariffs under the new U.S. administration. There is a growing concern regarding how these tariffs might adversely affect China's overall economic growth, which has already been decelerating due to weak domestic demand. Despite these hurdles, China has been successful in reducing its reliance on U.S. exports, demonstrating its ability to pivot towards diversifying its export markets. Key sectors such as autos and technology remain resilient, as many Chinese companies are focusing on domestic demand, which helps mitigate the potential negative impact of U.S. trade tensions.
