China: Rethinking Tariff Risks and Macro Implications

Date: 11 April

While the direct macro effects of new (and potential) US tariffs could prove manageable for an economy with China’s fiscal resources, Beijing’s policy toolkit in response to rising tariff risks is also much bigger this time around, creating an additional source of uncertainty to the outlook. We dive into the range of possible retaliatory responses from China to ongoing trade tensions, the delicate balancing act between managing strategic interests and domestic economic headwinds, and their implications for our China forecast both in the short and medium terms.
