On July 15, China released its half-year economic data: GDP hit RMB XXXXX trillion (about $XXX trillion), growing XXX% year-on-year. That’s not just a number—it’s a message. And apparently, Wall Street got the memo faster than most. Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Barclays, and six other major international banks upgraded their forecasts for China’s 2025 growth—on the same day.

Now pause and think: this performance happened under the shadow of so called “Trump’s punitive tariffs.” Remember “Liberation Day”? April 2, when Trump declared economic war (again) under the banner of “America First.” The intent? Force global compliance, hammer China’s economy, and perhaps harvest a few votes at home. The result? China’s exports held firm. Consumption and investment rebounded—yes, with policy support. But most importantly, China didn’t blink.
