Financial Times - China’s sluggish economy will weigh on global trade, western groups warn

The Financial Times leads on Western companies’ warnings that the slowdown in China’s economy will weigh heavily on global trade.

The paper says the country has for years been a booming market for all kinds of goods and services, but that it is failing to rebound from Covid lockdowns in the way many had expected. It quotes the head of one travel company saying he doesn’t expect business in China to pick up again for a “significant time”.
