Trump's Trade Policies Threaten China's Economic Recovery

TL;DR Summary
China is preparing new economic measures to counteract its slowing growth, exacerbated by a potential second Trump presidency that threatens to impose steep tariffs on Chinese goods. Despite efforts to transition to a high-tech economy, China's growth remains vulnerable due to a property slump, rising debt, and low consumption. The International Monetary Fund has lowered China's growth forecast, and experts suggest shifting focus from export-led growth to tapping into domestic consumer demand to avoid stagnation. Meanwhile, resistance from Western countries, including increased tariffs on Chinese exports, adds to the challenges.
