flag China's economy slows amid deflation, trade tensions, and domestic challenges despite stimulus efforts.

flag China's economy faces deflation and slowing growth due to trade tensions with the U.S., driven by tariffs and geopolitical friction. flag Producer prices fell 2.9% year-on-year in August, while unemployment and structural imbalances persist. flag Despite efforts to stimulate demand through low rates and subsidies, economic activity remains weak, with retail spending and factory output underperforming. flag Beijing has redirected exports to Asia, Africa, and Europe, maintaining a large trade surplus, but domestic challenges like a real estate slump and youth unemployment remain. flag The U.S. has made TikTok's ownership a precondition for broader trade talks, complicating negotiations. flag While China has avoided the worst tariffs, a minimum 30% tax still applies, and its leverage, including rare earth exports, underscores ongoing strategic tensions.
