Donald Trump’s election victory alone will cost the People’s Republic of China a lot of money. It is a foregone conclusion that the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress will announce a further increase in state economic aid on Thursday. Previously, ten trillion yuan (€1.3 trillion) had been announced as a stimulus to provide the domestic economy with urgently needed impetus. However, it had already been leaked that the volume would be increased again if Trump were to be elected US president.
