US Businesses Cite China's Economic Slowdown Over Trade Tensions as Top Concern

A survey by the American Chamber of Commerce in China found that 64% of US companies view China's economic slowdown as their top concern for 2026, surpassing worries about US-China trade tensions cited by 58%. Despite a record trade surplus in 2025, China’s growth is expected to slow further, with declining consumer demand and factory output affecting businesses reliant on the Chinese market. Business sentiment has improved, with more firms reporting profits compared to last year.
