US President Donald Trump.

The expansion of factory activity in China in March is likely to be as good as Asia's largest economy in 2025.
All economic data is essentially ancient history after its release. President Donald Trump is fishing since Deng Xiaoping's reforms in the late 1970s, which is more real than the Chinese factory.
China's official manufacturing purchasing managers index rose to 50.5 in March, compared with 50.2 in February. Expansion exceeds 50 points, China will enter a green second quarter. Non-manufacturing methods for construction and service sector activities rose from 50.4 to 50.8.
The snapshot shows that China is approaching news that Trump announced reciprocal tariffs – with the 20% tax that Trump has already imposed, the momentum is slightly more than the momentum. However, it can be said that it is not enough to bear the progress of China and Trump 2.0 gangs.
When faced with reality, Trump was very angry. So far, China has not paired a bunch of preemptive concessions with the White House to avoid his anger. Trump World seems to think that leaders in Japan and South Korea won’t wave the white flag early, and often avoid trade wars.
Vladimir Putin is here to remind the world that Trump's negotiation skills are numerous at best. Truem's team in Trump's weeks of trying to negotiate a ceasefire in Ukraine are hitting the predictable Russian tricky wall. Trump told NBC News that he was “very angry” and “angry” that the United States could impose a 50% tariff on countries that bought Putin's oil.
He turned around almost everywhere, and global leaders were staring at Trump's efforts to move forward with the world economy. This is likely to impose a bigger bullseye in China over the next nine months of 2025.
After all, the most obvious way for Trump to reach his second term is a “great deal” deal with Xi Jinping's country. Trump's 1.0 trade deals are more than American workers' economic wins. The first phase of the trade agreement signed by Trump and Xi Jinping is less about changing trade dynamics than Trump's US Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
The Trump World seems to know this. So the early focus was a set of two trade deals that could give Trump a place in the pantheon of economic reformers. However, the XI team did not participate in the competition. Rather than offering a series of compromises to the United States, China has made it clear that it is eager to see Trump's list of offers.
So the Trump world has embarked on a tariff route, hoping that it will make Beijing surrender to obedience. Almost nothing. Now, Trump is called a bluff by China, and the United States' allies are treated with frustration and fear. From Canada to Mexico to Denmark, there are a lot of disorientation. In Japan, the United States' top ally in Asia has an increasingly betrayal of Trump's tariff policies.
During his first term, Trump had no better ally than then Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Now, Shigeru Ishiba, Abe's party partner, is hardly able to enter Trump. Worse, Ishiba's hope of winning the Japanese pass ended ineffectively with Trump's 25% tax on cars and auto parts.
Trump's pursuit of Japanese cars has long been the worst nightmare for the Liberal Democrats. “Japan has made huge investments and a lot of job creativity, which does not apply to all countries,” Ishiba said last week. “We are the first [country] Invest in the United States. ”
This doesn't matter. And, if that's how Trump 2.0 treats Washington's best friend, it's not difficult to guess what China might be for. Especially at the moment Xi Jinping’s economy is struggling with deflationary pressures, his property crisis continues to undermine consumer confidence.
China is struggling to deal with dangerous high young people’s unemployment, carrying local governments that compress debt loads, a private sector has a hard time replacing state businesses and households that are easy to save rather than consume.
Wall Street is worried that China may be “uninvested” to continue to stalk the mainland market. Last week, Xi held a court with dozens of executives of senior global companies, including Samsung Electronics’ Jay Y. Lee and Blackstone Inc.’s Stephen Schwarzman to boost foreign investment.
However, many economists believe that at its worst, Trump’s revenge journey will take trillions of yuan to reach Asia, achieving its 5% growth target this year and keeping the factory buzz will take.
