Detailed Analysis
While acknowledging the potential impact of renewed trade disruptions with the US, the report emphasizes that China's economic prospects are primarily driven by domestic factors. "Ultimately we still think that the bigger challenges and prospects for the China macro and market picture are domestic rather than international." The report suggests that the impact of tariffs may be less severe than in the past due to China's reduced export exposure to the US and ongoing efforts to shift towards domestic demand. The success of these domestic policies, particularly in stimulating local activity and equity markets, will be key to China's economic performance.
