China may embrace greater stimulus, bolster manufacturing, and allow the yuan to weaken to offset the negative effects of a second Trump presidency on the Chinese economy, analysts said.

Most economists expect China to slap tariffs on US agricultural products, the same sector they targeted during Trump’s first term. Farms across the Midwest and the South, key regions for Trump’s political base, could be hit hard if China raises tariffs on American crops.

Could the tariffs Trump's threatened to slap on Chinese imports backfire and help Beijing? Some experts say they will.

The French president added that European countries risked being divided depending on their relative dependence on the US or Chinese market.
