Economists suggest that China’s strong domestic consumption and investment strategies may help mitigate risks from new US tariff policies.

US President Donald Trump announced a 10% baseline tax on imports and increased tariffs on nations with large trade surpluses.

Experts believe China’s economic scale and internal strategies provide a buffer against these measures.

China has focused on boosting domestic demand through increased consumer spending and targeted investments. Policymakers set a record-high deficit-to-GDP ratio to sustain growth.

Director of Tsinghua University’s Academic Center for Chinese Economic Practice and Thinking Li Daokui predicts China’s 2025 growth will exceed last year’s, citing policy tools and innovations like Huawei’s HarmonyOS and AI.

Jeffrey Sachs emphasized the global benefits of China’s rise and urged the US to pursue shared prosperity instead of unilateral gains.
