US EditionChina's Economy Likely Grew 5.2% in Q2 Despite Trade War: AFP Poll
MONTANA, UNITED STATES, JUL 10 – The US economy returned to growth in Q2 while China expanded over 5% driven by exports despite ongoing trade tensions and tariffs, analysts say.
- China's official data on Tuesday is expected to show a 5.2 percent GDP expansion in the second quarter amid efforts to sustain growth.
- This economic growth followed a 5.4 percent expansion in the first quarter and reflects strong exports despite ongoing US tariffs and trade tensions.

- China targets around five percent annual growth this year, but many anticipate slower expansion in the second half unless Beijing enacts sustained policy support and structural reforms.
