Kyle Jin's profile

China’s economic growth in the first quarter beat expectations, supported by solid consumer spending and industrial production, but analysts fear momentum could slow sharply as U.S. tariffs pose the biggest risk to the Asian powerhouse in decades.
U.S. President Donald Trump has raised tariffs on Chinese goods to sky-high levels, prompting Beijing to impose retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports, raising risks for the world’s two largest economies and roiling financial markets.
Data released on Wednesday showed China’s gross domestic product grew 5.4 percent in the January-March quarter from a year earlier, the same rate as in the fourth quarter, but beat analysts’ expectations in a Reuters poll for a 5.1 percent increase.
However, growth momentum is set to cool sharply in the coming quarters as Washington’s tariff shock hits the crucial export engine, increasing pressure on Chinese leaders to roll out more support measures to keep the world’s second-largest economy on an even keel.
“China’s economy faces two material headwinds at once: the ongoing property fallout at home and the unprecedented trade war between the US and China abroad,” Nomura economists said in a note.
While government stimulus has boosted consumption and sustained investment, Xu Tianchen, a senior economist at the Economist Intelligence Unit, said “a vigorous and timely response” is needed given the additional pressure from US tariffs.
Exports remained the Chinese economy’s one bright spot, with a trillion-dollar trade surplus last year helping to sustain growth even as a prolonged property slump and sluggish domestic demand continued to hamper a solid recovery.
That complicates the political challenge for Beijing, as Trump’s relentless focus on China’s vast trade mechanism threatens to stifle a key driver of growth.
Chinese Premier Li Qiang said this week that the country’s exporters would have to deal with “profound” external changes and promised to support more domestic consumption.
“UNPRECEDENTED”
Indeed, the quarter-on-quarter comparison highlighted a weak spot, with the economy expanding 1.2% in the first quarter over the previous three months, slowing from 1.6% in October-December.
The economy is expected to grow at a moderate pace of 4.5% from a year earlier in 2025, according to a Reuters poll, slowing from last year’s 5.0% pace and falling short of the official target of around 5.0%. Global investment banks have sharply cut their forecasts for China’s GDP this year.
Retail sales, a key indicator of consumption, rose 5.9% in March from a year earlier, after rising 4.0% in January-February, while industrial output growth accelerated to 7.7% from 5.9% in the first two months. Both figures beat analysts’ forecasts.
The increase in retail sales was driven by sharp double-digit gains in sales of home electronics and furniture, helped by the government’s consumer goods trade-in scheme.
But a slowdown in China’s property sector continued to be a drag on overall growth, with investment in the sector falling 9.9% in the first three months from a year earlier.
China's reaction to US tariffs causes Asian markets to collapse; sovereign wealth fund steps in to curb volatility.
Hang Seng Index posts biggest daily drop since 1997 amid escalating trade tensions between China and the United States Hong Kong's main stock index, the Hang Seng, posted its biggest daily drop since 1997 on Monday (7), reflecting worsening trade tensions between China and the United States. The pullback was driven by Beijing's decision to retaliate against U.S. tariffs with equivalent levies on U.S. goods, heightening fears of a larger trade war.
The Hang Seng index plummeted 13.22%, reaching 19,828 points, with negative highlights for stocks in technology companies, solar energy, banks and online retailers. Risk aversion has led investors to dump assets tied to growth and global trade.
The impact was not restricted to Hong Kong. The CSI300 index, which includes the main companies listed in Shanghai and Shenzhen, ended the day down 7.05% at 3,589 points. The devaluation came despite the actions of Central Huijin, an arm of the Chinese sovereign wealth fund, which said it had increased its positions in local shares with the aim of preserving market stability.
The Chinese retaliation was a response to tariffs imposed by the United States, which already cover more than 50% of Chinese products exported to the United States. The escalation between the world's two largest economies raises concerns about the impact on Chinese trade flows and corporate profits, as well as the risk of a decline in global demand at a time when China's economy is already facing signs of weakening.
“I believe the effects of this shock will be quite significant,” Tao Wang, UBS’s chief China economist, said in a conference call with investors. “It was already challenging to achieve the government’s growth target. Now, it has become even more difficult.”
The strong volatility was intensified by the fact that Chinese markets were closed last Friday, precisely when the main global stock exchanges faced sessions of intense selling pressure.
The Hang Seng Tech Index, which includes technology companies, fell 17%, the worst daily performance since the beginning of the historical series. The indicator has already accumulated a 27% decline in the month and is approaching the year's opening levels.
Given the lack of signs of a retreat from the White House, investors are turning their attention to Beijing, hoping that new stimulus measures may be announced to support exporters and strengthen domestic consumption.
Check out the performance of the main Asian indices on Monday:
Yuan hits lowest level in seven weeks, Chinese stock markets close lower amid tougher Washington measures
Chinese markets retreat after new US tariffs beat expectations
The yuan hit its lowest level in seven weeks on Thursday, while Chinese stock markets recorded significant losses. The move comes after US President Donald Trump announced a new round of reciprocal tariffs, with a direct impact on the Chinese economy and its main trading partners.
Although investors had already expected the adoption of these tariffs over the past week, the measures implemented by Washington exceeded initial projections and proved to be more severe than anticipated.
Chinese imports now face a 34% tariff, which is added to the 20% already applied previously, bringing the total to 54%. In addition, countries in China's supply chain, such as Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, were heavily impacted, with tariffs ranging from 46% to 49%.
Impact on financial markets
Amid the uncertainty, China's main indexes closed lower. The Shanghai index fell 0.24%, while the CSI300, which includes the largest companies listed in Shanghai and Shenzhen, fell 0.59%, reaching its lowest level in two months. Hong Kong's Hang Seng suffered a more significant decline, falling 1.52%.
"The tariff hike was more aggressive than the market expected, so the initial reaction should be an intensification of risk aversion," assessed Lynn Song, ING's chief economist for Greater China.
Experts are also monitoring China's stance on the yuan, analyzing whether Beijing will take measures to contain its devaluation and avoid broader impacts on emerging markets.
The onshore yuan ended the session at 7.3043 per dollar, hitting its lowest level since Feb. 12, while the offshore yuan hit a new one-month low. Chinese state banks reportedly stepped in to buy yuan, and the People’s Bank of China set the midpoint rate above market estimates in an effort to stem the currency’s depreciation. Despite these interventions, the currency has already lost much of its year-to-date gains over the past month, even as the Chinese central bank has attempted to stabilize it by adjusting its daily benchmark indexes.
Overview of Asian markets
In addition to China, other markets in the region also felt the effects of the US tariffs:
Tokyo (Nikkei 225): -2.77% (34,735 points)
Hong Kong (Hang Seng): -1.52% (22,849 points)
Shanghai (SSEC): -0.24% (3,342 points)
CSI300 (Shanghai and Shenzhen): -0.59% (3,861 points)
Seoul (Kospi): -0.76% (2,486 points)
Taiwan (Taiex): +0.08% (21,298 points)
Singapore (Straits Times): -0.30% (3,942 points)
Sydney (S&P/ASX 200): -0.94% (7,859 points)
The scenario reinforces the growing trade tension between United States and China, increasing volatility in global markets and raising uncertainty about the outcome of the tariff dispute.
Chinese New Year 2025: Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is one of the most significant celebrations in China and among East Asian communities worldwide. Spanning 15 days, this vibrant festival is marked by rich traditions such as colourful parades, joyful family reunions, and various cultural activities, celebrating customs that have been cherished for centuries. From date to significance, here's all you need to know.
In 2025, Chinese New Year will begin on Wednesday, January 29, and celebrations will span 15 days, concluding with the Lantern Festival on Wednesday, February 12. Public holidays for the festival will run from January 28 to February 4, 2025, as per the China Public Holiday List.
2025 is the year of the snake as per the Chinese zodiac.
Each Chinese New Year is linked to one of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac, and 2025 marks the Year of the Snake, the sixth animal in the zodiac cycle. The Snake symbolises wisdom, elegance, and intuition.
People born in the Year of the Snake are often seen as resourceful, self-reliant, and determined to overcome challenges. This year is expected to emphasise careful planning and strategic thinking, reflecting the traits of the Snake's personality.
The origins of Chinese New Year are steeped in folklore. According to legend, a sea monster named Nian would rise from the waters on New Year's Eve, terrorising villages. To protect themselves, villagers discovered that Nian was afraid of loud noises and the colour red.
In response, they began lighting firecrackers, decorating with red symbols, and wearing red clothing to scare the creature away. This tradition of using red and creating loud celebrations continues to be a defining feature of Chinese New Year today.
The Spring Festival is a family-oriented celebration, highlighted by reunion dinners and feasts featuring traditional dishes like rice cakes, dumplings, and fish. Parades, including vibrant lion and dragon dances, are held to bring good fortune and chase away evil spirits. Red envelopes filled with money are exchanged to symbolise luck and prosperity. On the 15th day, the festivities culminate with the Lantern Festival, where people of all ages and backgrounds gather in the streets to celebrate together.

China's trade surplus totaled $104.84 billion in December, according to information from the country's customs. In November, the surplus was smaller, at $97.44 billion. The surplus was forecast at $99.8 billion.
In December, China's exports rose 10.7% on the year (compared to a forecast of a 7.4% increase), while imports increased 1% (compared to a forecast of a 1.2% decrease).
For the whole of 2024, China's trade surplus was $992.2 billion; exports totaled $3.58 trillion, and imports totaled $2.59 trillion.
“The data showed that there was noticeably stronger growth in volume than in value for some export categories in 2024, indicating that price competition remains intense. This will undoubtedly fuel further criticism of China for ‘exporting deflation’. Sectors where this is clearly evident include autos, steel and home appliances,” said Lynn Song, chief China economist at ING.
“After accounting for changes in import prices and seasonality, import volumes have recovered month on month. We expect them to continue to grow in the near term. The Ministry of Finance said at a press conference last week that the fiscal deficit will widen significantly this year. We believe that the increase in fiscal spending, much of it likely to still be directed towards investment, will boost construction activity and increase demand for industrial commodities in the coming months,” said Zichun Huang, China economist at Capital Economics.
China is expecting a surge in people joining the Lunar New Year travel spree, with authorities estimating a record 9 billion domestic trips will be made during the 40-day festivities despite the stagnant economy.
State media reported the forecast for the travel season that begins on Jan. 14, when people traditionally travel to and from their hometowns. Last year, authorities also expected 9 billion domestic trips, but the actual numbers fell short, with about 8.4 billion total trips recorded.
Self-driving road trips are expected to account for about 80 percent of trips this year, followed by train and air travel, Li Chunlin, an official with the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), said at a press conference on Wednesday.
This year’s Spring Festival comes at a time when China’s economy is in crisis, struggling to recover from three years of pandemic control and paralyzed by a prolonged housing market slump. Exports are a bright spot for growth, but they face possible new U.S. tariffs when Donald Trump takes office this month. The government has rolled out a series of stimulus measures in recent months, including interest rate cuts and an expansion in the scope of a consumer goods exchange scheme, but has so far failed to stage a sustained recovery. Official annual counts of trips made during the New Year travel peak have been rising since the Ministry of Transport revised the metric ahead of the 2023 Lunar New Year to include self-driving road trips on major national highways. The metric was changed again ahead of the 2024 celebrations to include road trips made on more highways. A total of 2.98 billion trips were recorded in the run-up to the 2019 Spring Festival, a year before pandemic restrictions made travel difficult.
A record 510 million train trips are expected during the upcoming 40-day period, up 5.5 percent from a year earlier, Zhu Wenzhong, an official with China’s national railway operator, said at the same news conference.
About 90 million air trips are expected during this year’s celebrations, also a record.

SHANGHAI/SINGAPORE (Reuters) - China decided to keep its benchmark lending rates (LPR) unchanged on Tuesday, in line with market expectations.
The decision to keep the LPRs unchanged came amid a narrowing of lenders’ interest margins that has hampered continued easing efforts, after China cut a series of rates the previous month.
The one-year lending rate was kept at 3.35 percent, while the five-year LPR was left unchanged at 3.85 percent.
In a Reuters survey of 37 market participants this week, all respondents expected both rates to remain unchanged.
Most new and outstanding loans in China are based on the one-year LPR, while the five-year rate influences mortgage pricing.
China surprised markets in July by cutting key short- and long-term interest rates, its first such broad move in nearly a year, signaling authorities’ intent to boost economic growth.
The sequence of cuts also showed that the People’s Bank of China’s monetary framework had changed, making the short-term rate the main signal guiding markets, traders and analysts said.
China’s bank lending fell more than expected last month to its lowest level in nearly 15 years, dragged down by weak credit demand and seasonal factors, raising expectations that the central bank could take further easing measures.

October 1st is the anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949 and celebrated as China’s National Holiday. National Day is one of the most important holiday in China. An important occasion, the holiday is celebrated all of the People’s Republic of China.
