The last time Trump hit China with tariffs, Beijing devalued the yuan, blunting the impact. This time, Xi Jinping has signaled the country should defend its currency.

Chinese President Xi Jinping said Beijing is ready to work with Hanoi to build a community with a shared future of strategic significance, China's official Xinhua news agency reported on Saturday.

China's population shrank further in 2024, even though births ticked upward for the first time in seven years.

Donald Trump said he held a “very good” phone call with China’s President Xi Jinping, as the US-President elect prepares to return to the White House next week.

As Donald Trump prepares for his second term, China’s dominance of global manufacturing is greater than ever.

China's imports of unwrought aluminium and aluminium products fell 8.6% in December from the same month a year earlier to 300,000 metric tons, customs data showed on Saturday.

The fall came despite a slight rise in births last year, the first increase since 2016. State efforts to cajole women to have children have met resistance.

China has reported that its economy expanded at a 5% annual pace in 2024, achieving Beijing’s target of “around 5%” growth helped by strong exports and recent stimulus measures.

The country’s population fell for a third straight year as deaths outpaced births.

With days until Donald Trump is sworn in, China is bracing for a trade war, aiming at industries as diverse as semiconductors, apparel and industrial plastic.

Trump has said he has a "warm spot" for the app, a distinct change of heart after his first administration first called for a ban on TikTok.
