China's Economic Plan Is Light on Detail as Trade War Intensifies
Briefly

China is attempting to revitalize its economy by promising to boost spending, but concrete measures and financial backing are lacking. During the National People's Congress, leaders set a lofty growth target of 5% without clear strategies for achieving it amid challenges such as rising tariffs and a stagnant property market. With deflation affecting businesses and consumer confidence, the optimistic facade faces significant threats. Analysts stress that substantial policy interventions are required to stabilize the economy and counteract the mounting pressure from international trade dynamics.
