U.S. President Donald Trump ratchet up tariffs on Chinese imports to a prohibitive level of 145%, spurring a round of stimulus measures from Beijing.

China’s economy slowed in the second quarter even as it topped market forecast in a show of resilience against U.S. tariffs, and analysts warn of underlying weakness and rising risks that will ramp up pressure on Beijing to roll out more stimulus.

Officials credited the better-than-expected result to targeted stimulus, industrial resilience, and trade diversification, even as external pressures from the US remained intense.
