China’s economic growth target of 5% this year is looking ambitious, given sluggish consumer spending, an uncertain outlook for the country’s exports and a still shaky property market. President Xi Jinping’s government spent recent months trying to fix those problems via a succession of stimulus measures that left investors clamoring for more decisive action.

HONG KONG, Nov 6 (Reuters) - A threat by Donald Trump, who has been elected as the next U.S. president, to impose 60% tariffs on U.S. imports of Chinese goods poses major growth risks for the world's second-largest economy.

NEW YORK — Shoe brand Steve Madden will be cutting the goods that it imports from China by as much as 45% next year as it prepares for the return of President-elect Donald Trump who has pledged to slap steep tariffs across the board on imports from other countries.

China remains the biggest market for U.S. agriculture products despite a decline in imports since 2018 after Beijing slapped tariffs of up to 25% on soybeans, beef, pork, wheat, corn and sorghum in retaliation for duties on Chinese goods imposed by Trump.

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump inherits a United States-China relationship reset by presidents Joe Biden and Xi Jinping over the last year to lift ties off a diplomatic nadir after COVID-19 and tension over Taiwan.

Chinese exports extended their growth streak in October, providing crucial support for an economy struggling to regain momentum.
