US businesses are more concerned about China’s slowing economy than trade friction, according to a survey by the American Chamber of Commerce in China released Friday.
Of 368 companies responding to the survey, 64% viewed slowing growth in the world’s second largest economy as their top worry, while 58% cited US-China trade tensions as a key challenge.

Economists expect China’s economy to slow further this year after expanding at about a 5% annual pace in 2025. Growth in exports outpaced imports last year, leading to a record trade surplus of nearly $1.2 trillion.
The report said business sentiment has improved from last year. More than half of those responding estimated that they made a profit in 2025, up from less than half last year.
