US President-elect Donald Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on China in response to what he sees as unfair subsidies for Chinese industrial products. However, China's economy is expected to expand by 5% in 2025, according to Xi Jinping, the country's leader. In a retaliatory move, China has penalized several major US defense firms, including Raytheon, Boeing, General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin, restricting their business activities with China. The move is seen as largely symbolic due to the limited business these companies do with Beijing, as weapons sales to China require a presidential waiver.
