The readout added that Beijing intends to work with the international community to mitigate the impact of these trade barriers.<\/p>\n<p>The Chinese government outlined a series of measures designed to support domestic businesses and citizens, including expanding unemployment insurance payouts, boosting middle and low-income wages, and fostering the growth of the service industry.<\/p>\n<p>There were also plans to increase consumption and enhance financing support for struggling enterprises.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the government proposed accelerating the development of a new real estate model, expanding housing stock, and implementing city renewal and urban renovation programs. These actions aim to stimulate demand in the domestic market as Beijing seeks to cushion the economic blow of the trade war.<\/p>\n<p>The news comes in the wake of a potential trade-war between China and the United States. US President Trump recently stated that tariffs on Chinese imports would be \u201csubstantially\u201d reduced but would not be completely eliminated.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these signs of potential easing, the two governments have offered conflicting statements on the status of trade negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, China\u2019s Foreign Ministry reiterated that no official talks are taking place between the US and China regarding tariffs. This contradicted Trump\u2019s earlier claims that negotiations were ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe may reveal it later, but they had meetings this morning, and we\u2019ve been meeting with China,\u201d Trump told reporters at the White House, though he did not specify who \u201cthey\u201d referred to.<\/p>\n<p>The trade war between the US and China has strained both economies, and the latest developments signal that both sides are looking for ways to ease tensions and find a path forward.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chinese President Xi Jinping has announced a comprehensive plan to bolster China\u2019s economy amid continuing challenges, including the ongoing trade war with the United States, which has weighed heavily on the country\u2019s financial landscape since the pandemic.
