China's Economic Stimulus Hinges on U.S. Election Outcome

The scale of China's fiscal stimulus package could expand significantly if Donald Trump wins the U.S. presidency, analysts suggest.

  • China's National People's Congress Standing Committee is reviewing a bill to raise local government debt ceilings and address hidden debts.
  • Analysts predict China's fiscal stimulus could be 10-20% larger if Trump wins, due to anticipated economic headwinds like increased tariffs.
  • The proposed stimulus includes significant debt swaps and special bonds aimed at easing liquidity issues in the property sector.
  • China's economic challenges include a prolonged property market downturn, sluggish domestic consumption, and soaring local government debt.
  • The NPC meeting is expected to conclude with a detailed announcement of the stimulus package, coinciding with the U.S. election results.
