Aly Song | Reuters BEIJING — Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential win has raised the bar for China’s fiscal stimulus plans, expected Friday. On the campaign trial, Trump threatened to impose additional  tariffs of 60% or more  on Chinese goods sold to the U.S. Increased  duties of at least 10%  under Trump’s first term as president did not dent America’s position as China’s largest trading partner. But new tariffs — potentially on a larger scale — would come at a pivotal time for China. The country is relying more on exports for growth as it battles with a real estate slump and tepid consumer spending. If Trump raises tariffs to 60%, that could reduce China’s exports by $200 billion, causing a 1 percentage point drag on GDP, Zhu Baoliang, a former chief economist at China’s economic planning agency, said at a Citigroup conference. watch no
