What happened
Reports indicate that China's economy is operating on a two-speed model, with tech booming while consumer demand weakens. The government lowered its GDP growth forecast for 2026 to 4.6%, down from 4.8%, due to disappointing consumer data. The forecast for 2027 remains at 4.7%. The biggest geopolitical risk associated with China is a flare-up in tensions over Taiwan.

Why it matters
The ongoing geopolitical rivalry between Beijing and Taipei is defined by competing sovereignty claims and military pressure. This risk factor adds to the existing pressures on the Chinese economy as it navigates its housing crisis and consumer slump.
