GDP Growth Projections - The GDP growth forecast for 2025 and 2026 has been raised from 4.0% and 3.5% to 4.6% and 3.8%, respectively, due to the improved trade outlook [5][6]. Policy Response - The Chinese government is focusing on stabilizing employment, businesses, and market confidence, aiming for a GDP growth target of around 5% [7]. - The approach to fiscal policy has become more conservative, with a focus on targeted measures rather than broad-based fiscal stimulus [8][9]. Manufacturing Sector Focus - Despite calls for a shift towards consumer-driven growth, the Chinese government continues to prioritize the development of the manufacturing sector, viewing it as a key driver of economic growth [10][11]. - China's manufacturing sector remains robust, with significant global market share and competitive advantages in production costs [11]. Economic Rebalancing - The long-term direction for China's economy is to shift towards domestic demand and household consumption, with potential reforms aimed at enhancing consumer spending and social security systems [12][13].

Core Viewpoint - The recent US-China trade negotiations have led to a significant reduction in tariffs, which is expected to positively impact China's economic growth and reduce the need for aggressive policy easing [2][3][5]. Group 1: Trade Negotiations and Tariff Adjustments - The US has agreed to cancel some retaliatory tariffs on China, reducing the effective tariff rate from over 100% to approximately 39% [2][3]. - China's effective tariff rate on the US will also decrease from 144% to around 30% as part of the agreement [2][3]. - The unexpected extent of tariff reductions suggests a lower drag on China's economic growth than previously anticipated, leading to adjustments in export growth forecasts [3][5]. Group 2: Economic Growth Predictions - China's export growth forecast for 2025 has been revised from -5% to 0%, with net exports now expected to contribute +0.1 percentage points to GDP growth [3][5]. - The GDP growth forecasts for 2025 and 2026 have been increased from 4.0% and 3.5% to 4.6% and 3.8%, respectively, due to the positive impact of tariff reductions [5]. Group 3: Policy Responses and Economic Stability - The Chinese government is focusing on stabilizing employment, businesses, and market confidence while maintaining a conservative approach to fiscal policy [6][8]. - Despite the need for short-term fiscal expansion, there are concerns about long-term fiscal sustainability, leading to a more cautious use of fiscal resources [7][8]. - The government is prioritizing high-tech manufacturing and structural transformation towards quality growth rather than quantity [9][10]. Group 4: Manufacturing Sector and Export Competitiveness - China's manufacturing sector remains a key focus, with significant investments in high-tech industries and a strong global export presence [9][10]. - The country has maintained a competitive edge in various mid-to-high-end product categories, with a notable increase in export shares to emerging markets [9][10]. - The low cost of production factors, including labor and industrial land, continues to support China's export competitiveness [10][11].
