The Figure Has Exceeded Expectations But Period Before US Tariffs Jumped From 10% to 145%, and Chinese Officials Warned Of More Economic Pain Ahead.

While Both Washington and Beijing Have Tho Are You Negotiating, Neither Have a Move to Do So Yet.

When Happens, Li, 58, Will Play a Key Role. He prediously served as a deputy permanent representative to the United Nations in Geneva and has Held Several Key Jobs in The Commerce Ministry.

Speaking to Reuters, One Expert Said The Change in Jobs Was “Very Abrupt and Potentially Disruptive” Given The Current Trade Tensions – Adding That Wang Also Had Experience Negotiating Us With The First Trump Administration.

“It might be in China’s Top Leadership, Given How Tensions Have Continued Someone ELSE to Break The Impasse … and Finally Start Negotiating,” Said Alfredo Montuer-Helu, A Senior Adviser to the Conference Board’s China Center.

Beijing’s GDP Figures for The First Quarter Have Bealat Analysts’ Expectations – What Hovered Around 5.1%.

Growth in the World’s Second-Largest Economy Was underscored by Strail Sales and Promising Factory Output.

But China Soared Only In China On Recent Weeks. Trump Raised Them to 145% Early Last Week, And Beijing Retaliated by Raising Levies on US Goods to 125%.

So Some Of The Expansion Could Be Rushing Out to Factories to Beat Trump’s Tariffs – A Concept Called “Front Loading”.

Analysts Surge in China’s Exports in March Will Be Sharply Revers In The Months Ahead Tariffs Take Effect.

China’s Property Downturn Is Also Still Dragging Growth. Property Investment Fell by Almost 10% in The First Three Months of 2025 compared to the Same Period Last Year.
