China’s top political leadership will reportedly draw up a five-year plan to buoy domestic manufacturing when it meets this week, even as the U.S.-Chinese trade standoff continues to be a significant headwind.&nbsp;Goldman Sachs’ Chief China Economist Hui Shan said, “The meat of the 15th five-year plan probably will be to show determined support for technology, innovation and security,” according to a Financial Times&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.ft.com/content/ba6a1a51-70a0-4a24-a97e-dcf123467c53">report</a>.&nbsp;The report stated that at the four-day “fourth-plenum” meeting that kicks off on Monday, the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party will discuss the details of the country’s 15th five-year plan, emphasizing the importance of consumption.Data released by the Chinese National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed that the <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/china-s-gdp-growth-slows-amid-renewed-trade-tensions-with-us/ch6CKO6R3oZ">country’s economy grew 4.8% year-over-year</a> (YoY) in the third quarter, the slowest in a year, but aligning with the consensus estimate, with fixed-asset investment serving as a drag,&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/20/china-economic-growth-gdp-september-third-quarter-q3-retail-sales-industrial-output-urban-investment-fixed-income.html">according</a> to CNBC.The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MCHI">iShares MSCI China ETF (MCHI)</a> has soared over 36% this year, outperforming the U.S. tech-focused index, the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ)</a> (+18.6%), and the broader&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a> (+14.4%).China To Double Down On Tech ThrustThe FT report said the next five-year plan will be formally released in March, although the blueprint will be laid out during the week’s meeting. Aligning with President Xi Jinping’s thrust on technological and industrial self-reliance to break free of the dependence on Western economies, led by the U.S., Beijing will likely signal heavy state-led investment in cutting-edge technologies.Conference Board’s Principal Economist of the China Center, Yuhan Zhang, reportedly said the next five-year plan will “continue channeling resources towards strategic emerging industries such as AI, new energy, new materials, advanced manufacturing, and ‘future industries’ like brain-computer interfaces.”“State-directed investments in new productive forces and infrastructure aim to expand ‘the means of production’, create jobs, attract private capital, and strengthen economic and technological autonomy while asserting China’s global influence.”According to FT, domestic demand wouldn’t be the thrust for the next five-year plan, and the government will likely announce more efforts to boost consumption. Economists expect the plan to incentivize government officials at all levels to increase household spending by setting numerical targets.Neil Thomas, fellow on Chinese Politics at the Center for China Analysis at the Asia Society, said, “Perceptions in Beijing of the external environment have darkened, with US politics intensifying global uncertainty and economic risk.”“Hence Xi’s emphasis on investment in new technologies, which not only gave China a technological edge but also aimed to lift productivity — the key to future economic growth.”Why China’s Chasing Tech EminenceThe ongoing tariff tussle between the U.S. and China threatens to widen the lag the latter has with the former in technology. Washington curbed exports of high-performance chips manufactured by U.S. tech companies such as Nvidia and AMD to China, applying brakes on the latter’s progress in artificial intelligence.&nbsp;With rare earths now taking the center stage in the latest escalation of the trade war between the two countries, U.S. President Donald Trump has warned of levying 100% tariffs on China. He, however, has softened his stance since then. In an interview with Fox News “Sunday Morning Futures,” Trump said, “I'm not looking to destroy China.”“China has built their military because of us. China has taken out trillions and trillions of dollars. Now they've forced me to charge them what is the equivalent of 155 to 157,"&nbsp;he added.&nbsp;Trump, however, expressed confidence in a resolution when he meets with his Chinese counterpart, likely in two weeks.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/skyworks-qorvo-downgraded-to-sell-on-macro-lackluster-i-phone-shipments/ch6CiGtR3oS">Apple Suppliers Skyworks, Qorvo Downgraded To Sell: Analyst Cites Tougher Macro Backdrop, Lackluster iPhone Shipments</a>

China’s Next 5-Year Plan to Prioritize AI And Other Cutting-Edge Tech, Innovation Amid US Trade Tensions: Report

Beijing will likely signal heavy state-led investment in cutting-edge technologies at a key meeting of the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Committee.

China's economic growth slowed for a second straight quarter&nbsp;from July to September, official data released on Monday showed, underscoring headwinds from U.S. tariffs and weakness in some local industries.The gross domestic product (GDP) grew 4.8% year-over-year, in line with economists' estimates from Reuters. However, the rate was lower than the 5.2% growth in the April-June period and 5.4% in the January-March period. China is aiming for full-year growth of around 5%.What The Data RevealsThe world's second-largest economy continues to grapple with a host of challenges, including renewed trade tensions with the United States, weak domestic demand, and a persistent slump in the property market.Retail sales, a major gauge of consumption, rose by 3% in September, down from 3.4% in August. Industrial output grew by 6.5% last month, accelerating from a 5.2% rise in August.Private investment, a gauge of investor confidence, declined by 3.1% in the first nine months of the year, compared with a 2.3% decline in the January-August period last year.Other Economic IndicatorsMeanwhile, other economic indicators released on Monday will also likely weigh on trading in the Chinese market. The country's central bank kept the benchmark lending rates unchanged for the fifth consecutive month, in line with expectations.Chinese President Xi Jinping and the country's top leaders, known as the Central Committee, will convene for the "Fourth Plenum" on Monday, a three-day closed-door meeting to discuss China's next five-year plan.Separately, data from China's customs department showed that the country's exports to North Korea, a heavily sanctioned nation, rose 30.75% year-over-year last month, according to a Reuters report. They included soybean oil, processed hair and wool for wig-making, petroleum bitumen, and granulated sugar.Market SnapshotDespite economic headwinds, Chinese stocks — including U.S.-listed ones — are rallying, driven by AI-fueled gains in Alibaba and other major tech firms.So far this year, the iShares MSCI China ETF (MCHI), which tracks major Chinese companies, and the KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (KWEB), which tracks Internet and tech companies, have gained around 37%. That's three times the 12.7% gains in the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), which tracks the benchmark S&amp;P 500 stocks.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

China's GDP Growth Slows Amid Renewed Trade Tensions With US

GDP grew 4.8% in the third quarter, deaccelerating from the 5.2% growth in the April-June period and the 5.4% in the January-March period.

The Chinese government reportedly confirmed that Beijing and Washington held working-level talks on Monday, but urged the U.S. to show sincerity to resolve the differences. The comments came after U.S. President Donald Trump struck a conciliatory tone on Sunday and assuaged concerns about an escalation in the trade ties between the countries.&nbsp;“The U.S. cannot engage in dialogue while intimidating and threatening to impose new restrictions. This is not the right way to deal with China,” the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said on Tuesday,&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3328883/china-and-us-held-working-level-talks-monday-despite-trade-spat?module=top_story&amp;pgtype=homepage">according</a> to the South China Morning Post. “China urges the US to immediately correct its wrong practices and show sincerity for dialogue.”Trump warned last week that he would impose triple-digit tariffs on China after Beijing tightened its control on rare earths. These critical materials are essential in manufacturing a host of items, including electronics, automobiles, and semiconductors. The warning sent stocks into a tailspin on Friday.&nbsp;The U.S. President, however, said on Sunday not to worry about&nbsp;China and that “It will all be fine!”&nbsp;but added that “President Xi just had a bad moment. He doesn’t want Depression for his country, and neither do I,” he added.&nbsp;The market latched onto Trump’s comments, construing them to be positive, and rebounded on Monday. The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a> and the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ)</a>, which track the S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 indices, rose 1.53% and 2.12%, respectively. The SPY and QQQ ETFs have gained 14% and 18%, respectively, for the year-to-date period. The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MCHI">iShares MSCI China ETF (MCHI)</a>, which climbed 3.11% on Monday, has rallied 36.5% this year.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward SPY ETF remained ‘neutral’ by late Monday, while that&nbsp;of the QQQ ETF stayed ‘bearish.’ The message volume on both streams was at ‘high’ levels. The MCHI ETF drew ‘bullish’ sentiment from among retailers on the platform, an improvement from the ‘neutral’ mood seen the previous day. The message volume, however, remained ‘low.’The SCMP report also noted that the MoC said that the two sides have maintained communication under the framework of a bilateral economic and trade consultation mechanism, which was established during trade negotiations earlier this year.China’s most recent comments came after U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said in a TV interview on Sunday that the Chinese declined to have a phone call when the U.S. wanted clarification on Beijing’s expansion of rare earth export controls.&nbsp;China refuted&nbsp;Greer’s comments, saying that China had communicated about the expanded controls. “China’s export controls do not equate to a ban on exports; applications that comply with regulations will be approved as always, working together to maintain the security and stability of the global industrial and supply chains,” the MoC stated. “In contrast, the U.S. has long generalized the concept of national security, abused export controls, and adopted discriminatory practices against China.”For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/nvidia-s-dgx-spark-lands-at-starship-hq/ch6mBL1R3la">Nvidia’s DGX Spark Lands At Starship HQ As Jensen Huang Hand-Delivers It To Elon Musk</a>
