China's economy slows as AI and military rise
What it means
China's economic growth is weakening, but exports beat forecasts. Graduates face high unemployment. China and Russia held naval drills, and a domestic AI chip launched.
Why it matters
China's slowing growth tests its ability to meet annual targets. Its AI adoption and new chip challenge Western tech dominance, while joint drills with Russia shift military balance.
How it affects you
Stronger Chinese exports may keep global prices lower. AI advances could lead to more Chinese-made products and services in your daily life, from apps to surveillance.
