In response to trade tariff pressure from the Trump administration in the United States, Chinese Premier Li Qiang stated on March 23rd during the "China Development Forum 2025" that China has prepared for potential "external shocks beyond expectations." He emphasized that, if necessary, China would introduce new incremental policies to ensure the stable operation of its economy.

Although Li did not elaborate on specific incremental policies, he stressed that the government would implement more "proactive" and "effective" macroeconomic policies based on changing economic conditions, and would further strengthen counter-cyclical adjustments.
