China is expected to focus on a rematch of a tariff war with the United States in 2025 after President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House in January, while seeking to improve ties with Japan, which could also face higher import duties.


Fujio Kawashima, a professor at Kobe University's Graduate School of Law, said he sensed China's eagerness to promote cooperation with Japan following Trump's victory in the Nov. 5 presidential election from remarks of Chinese participants at a recent symposium in Beijing.

At the event, he compared the two neighboring countries' approaches to cope with Trump's trade policies in his first term.

Kawashima said he believes they can work together, also possibly with Europe, to send a message to internationalism advocates in the United States that "what Trump is going to do would destroy" the multilateral trade system represented by the World Trade Organization.

Recent political turmoil in South Korea is a downside risk to the country's economy, but its effects are likely to subside within half a year, said BOK official Soohyung Lee.
The most concerning headwind for South Korea’s economy in 2025 is if U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s proposed import tariffs come to fruition.
Based on the country's robust economy over the past 20 years, Lee is "cautiously optimistic" about economic conditions.
