China Defies Tariff Pressure, Reaches Ambitious Growth Target
China's economy grew by 5% in 2025, meeting its official target despite a slowdown to 4.5% in Q4, driven by a record trade surplus amid struggles in domestic spending and a property crisis. However, analysts like Capital Economics suggest the actual growth may be overstated by at least 1.5 percentage points, contrasting with weak investment and consumer spending, while the country also reported a record low of 7.9 million births.
