Key Takeaways
– China’s economy grew 4.96% in 2025, according to World Bank data — a figure that signals a mature economy shifting from breakneck expansion to steadier, more managed growth.
– Inflation sits at just 0.06%, an extraordinarily low rate that raises questions about domestic demand and consumer confidence in the world’s second-largest economy.
– Unemployment remains contained at 4.6%, though this headline figure masks the structural challenges facing a workforce navigating a historic transition away from property-led growth.
– Chinese financial and technology giants are pivoting overseas, with recent reporting from SCMP showing firms like Tiger and Futu surging abroad after regulatory clampdowns at home reshaped their growth prospects.
– Trade diplomacy is front and centre, with reports that Chinese executives may join the President’s trip to the US as a one-year trade truce extension appears “almost certain,” per SCMP sources.
