0535 GMT - Domestic imbalance and weakness likely made China's economy more fragile and susceptible to external challenges, causing it to be "disproportionately affected" by rising trade tensions, the IMF says in its latest report. China's 2024 growth was mainly supported by external demand, amid prolonged weakness in the property sector and subdued domestic demand, IMF says. Growth losses in China and the U.S. are expected to become larger in 2026 and beyond as a result of trade risks, IMF warns. China faces the largest U.S. tariff increases, but its exports decline in the medium-to-long term will likely be mitigated by trade diversion to other markets, IMF adds. The IMF sees China's GDP growth now easing to 4% this year and the next. (kimberley.kao@wsj.com)
