COVID-19, China in the Next Recession
The hasty feast of the COVID-19 is a hard blow for a global economy. The magnitude of the harm, of course, rests on how quickly and how efficiently the epidemic is controlled. However, its severe fallouts are apparent and much anticipated.
The economic fallouts of COVID-19 in terms of China are self-evident. A second-largest economy in terms of GDP was rushing fastest in the region, was decelerated collapsed within a short time span. The shrinkage in January and February data “indicates negative GDP growth in the first two months of 2020. This slump is more probable to restrain China to attain growth targets. The negative GDP growth in the first quarter will last until the outburst of COVID-19 is not settled.

US-China trade war and possible layoffs

The US has executed tariffs on Chinese imports more than $360bn while China in retaliation levied tariffs on U.S. exports more than $110bn. This enormous upsurge in tariffs pushes many U.S. companies, especially in the manufacturing sector either to workers hours cut or completely layoffs. The fast-spreading COVID-19 added fuel to the fire. The partial pact between the two countries is more likely futile. Due to the wide-spread of COVID-19 global manufacturing including the U.S. and China are shrunk.
