The source argues China’s reported 5% growth in 2025 was heavily supported by a record $1.19 trillion trade surplus, while domestic consumption, investment, and the property sector remained weak. It suggests 2026 risks include tighter external trade conditions, deflationary pressures, and policy trade-offs between stimulus-driven growth and rising debt.
The source text suggests US and EU tariffs on Chinese-made EVs remain largely unchanged into January 2026, with the US combining high tariffs and software-ecosystem restrictions and the EU applying manufacturer-specific countervailing duties. Canada is described as pivoting to a quota-based, low-tariff arrangement tied to reciprocal concessions and investment promises, raising alliance-cohesion and technology-governance risks.
US exports to China supported 1.06 million American jobs and totaled $151.3B in goods (2022) plus $39.6B in services (2021), but growth is lagging other major markets. Agriculture and pharmaceuticals are expanding while semiconductors, energy, and mobility-driven services face policy, geopolitical, and structural headwinds.
According to the source, steep 2025 U.S. tariffs reduced direct China-origin imports but incentivized rerouting of China-made goods through Vietnam. New academic estimates cited in the document place rerouted exports via Vietnam to the U.S. at over $8 billion in the first three quarters of 2025, highlighting enforcement and origin-classification challenges.
MOFCOM announcements in November 2025 suspended several October rare-earth and critical-mineral export-control measures and paused certain U.S.-focused dual-use licensing requirements until November 27, 2026. The underlying export-control architecture and key prohibitions remain in force, leaving supply chains with a limited window to secure licenses and strengthen resilience ahead of potential re-tightening.
The Guardian reports China achieved its annual growth target of about 5% despite renewed US–China trade tensions and a prolonged property downturn. The article suggests headline resilience is being maintained while structural challenges—housing-market adjustment and worsening demographics—continue to weigh on the medium-term outlook.
The source argues the US should reduce tariffs on Chinese-made EVs and allow limited imports under strict localization and security conditions to accelerate EV adoption and rebuild domestic battery and motor supply chains. It highlights Canada’s reported quota-and-tariff deal with China as a catalyst and a sign of growing North American policy divergence amid broader trade tensions.
