Chinese leader Xi Jinping starts the year strong despite Donald Trump's return to the White House and trade war threats. The launch of an innovative chatbot, DeepSeek, marks a milestone in AI, fueling a stock market rally. Additionally, the animated film 'Ne Zha 2' broke box office records. As Trump imposes tariffs, Beijing remains defiant, emphasizing its manufacturing capabilities and partnerships. The National People's Congress meeting offers Xi a platform to showcase China's responses to global pressures, reinforcing confidence in its economic strategy amid ongoing trade tensions.
China cannot accept - and has the ability and confidence to reject - Trump's extreme pressure, said Mei Xinyu, an economist at the state-affiliated Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation.
The United States needs to realize fully that China's strength in manufacturing, trade partners and so on, comparative to the United States, is not like that of the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
