Chinese President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory message to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.

It contains a message that whether the U.S. and China had a second trade war in mind, or that if you fight, you will get hurt.

This is Beijing correspondent Kang Jeong-gyu.

Chinese President Xi Jinping went on a local economic inspection on the day of the U.S. presidential election.

As soon as former President Donald Trump confirmed his election, he sent a congratulatory message.

The point was, in a nutshell, "Let's not fight."

He first raised his hand to manage differences by increasing dialogue and communication.

But Trump has vowed a 60% tariff bomb on Chinese goods, heralding a second trade war.

As of last year, a tariff barrier will be established in the United States, which accounts for $500 billion and 15% of China's total exports.

Following a slump in domestic consumption and a decline in foreign direct investment (FDI), the red light has been turned on in the Chinese economy's tricycle.

Macquarie Group, a global financial firm, also analyzed that China's economic growth rate could be reduced by 2 percentage points.

Now, the public's attention is on the scale of the "Chinese version of the supplementary budget," which has been delayed since the U.S. presidential election.

Some argue that Trump's return requires a stronger fiscal injection than during the 2008 global financial crisis.

This means that since 4 trillion yuan, which was 13% of GDP at the time, was invested to stimulate the economy, more than 16 trillion yuan and 3,000 trillion won are needed this time.
