Following Donald Trump’s 2024 victory and his renewed tariff threats, expectations are high for China to deploy more fiscal stimulus, likely to be announced on Friday. Trump has proposed tariffs of up to 60% on Chinese goods, a steep hike from his initial 10% tariffs, which China weathered while still seeing the U.S. as a key trade partner.
Economic Impact on China:
Potential Tariff Drag: If tariffs rise to 60%, China’s GDP could shrink by 1%, cutting exports by up to $200 billion, according to economist Zhu Baoliang.
Expected Stimulus: Analysts forecast a 10 trillion yuan ($1.39 billion) package, with funds for local debt relief and real estate support.
