Experts said a 90-day truce in the tariffs dispute may lead to a mild rebound in the Chinese economy but that the medium-term outlook remains pessimistic.

April economic data released by the Chinese communist regime showed that China’s economy slowed month over month in nearly all sectors.

Analysts, who caution that official statistics should be treated with skepticism, said the Chinese economy may experience a short-term, mild rebound following the 90-day tariff truce between the United States and China but that it will likely worsen afterward because of the prospect of a trade war.
