China, which has the second largest economy in the world, has had slowed economic growth in recent months. Last year, China reported a 0.3% decrease in year to year prices. Economists hoped for a steady increase in prices, but after posting a flat reading in September, experts fear China may experience prolonged deflation. Producer prices have also now fallen 2.6% in January, dropping for the 16th consecutive month.
China's Economy has grown at 9% on average per year since 1978, but due to strict COVID-19 restrictions, that number has slowed to 3% in recent years. Economists expected China's economy to recover quickly following lockdowns, but the recovery has taken much longer than expected.
Due to cheaper than usual Chinese imports, the United States economy could see an increase in imported goods and a decrease in manufacturing.

China's economy is slowing down, raising concerns about prolonged deflation. This could impact global trade, with the United States potentially seeing more imports from China and less domestic manufacturing.
