In international business news,
China has reported its economy expanded at a 5% annual pace in 2025, buoyed by strong exports despite U-S President Donald Trump's tariffs.
However, growth slowed to a 4.5% rate in the last quarter of the year.
That was the slowest quarterly growth since late 2022 when China loosened strict COVID-19 restrictions.
The economy, the world's second largest, grew at a 4.8% annual pace in the previous quarter.
China’s leaders have been trying to spur faster growth after a slump in the property market and disruptions from the pandemic rippled through the economy.
Strong exports helped to compensate for weak consumer spending and business investment, contributing to a record trade surplus of $1.2 trillion USD.
