China"s economy faces significant challenges, including the threat of a deflationary spiral and the implications of Donald Trump"s election in the US.

The effectiveness of these plans remains uncertain as scrutiny of China"s economic statistics grows.
Chery has announced the development of a GWh-level all-solid-state battery production line in Wuhu, Anhui Province, in collaboration with Anhui Anwa New Energy Co., Ltd. The facility, which is part of a larger 5 GWh production plan, aims to produce batteries with energy densities starting at 280 Wh/kg, progressing to 400 Wh/kg and 500 Wh/kg in subsequent generations by 2027.

Morgan Stanley"s chief global economist warns that proposed tariffs by Donald Trump could significantly hinder U.S. economic growth into 2026, leading to higher inflation. If implemented swiftly, these tariffs may create a "big negative shock" to the economy, affecting various sectors, including automobiles and consumer electronics. The potential impact on inflation could also eliminate interest rate cuts for 2025, further restraining growth.
The return of Donald Trump as US President is boosting the American economy, making both the US and China attractive for global diversification. US equity funds have shown impressive returns of 33.9% and 12.3% CAGR over one and three years, respectively, while China-focused funds lag with 15.2% and -6.0%. Experts suggest that the intensifying competition between these two economies necessitates a reevaluation of investment strategies.
