According to Yicai Global, Yao Yang, dean of the Dishui Lake Advanced School of Finance at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, stated at the 2025 Wisdom China Global Forum on Friday (September 19, 2025) that the economic fundamentals of both China and the United States have not changed. The United States continues to develop its financial industry, while China is fully committed to developing its manufacturing sector. The two countries are each focusing on their strengths, which will inevitably lead to a complementary relationship.

He also stated that the United States cannot do without the support of China's manufacturing industry. Because the United States imposes tariffs globally, while China's manufacturing costs are low, Trump's tariff policy has weakened Chinese competitors, making the advantages of Chinese companies more apparent.
