🔎 Beijing Warns Trump’s Tariffs Could Disrupt U.S. Defense Sector
President-elect Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs of up to 60% could severely impact U.S. economic growth and disrupt critical supply chains, including the defense sector, warns Ding Yifan, a senior adviser to China’s State Council. At a government briefing, Ding highlighted the U.S.'s heavy reliance on low-cost Chinese parts, citing RTX (formerly Raytheon), which sources from 2,000 Chinese suppliers.
Ding estimates that doubling tariffs could slash U.S. GDP growth by half as manufacturers scramble to replace Chinese intermediate goods. While China would also suffer economic setbacks, Ding emphasized that U.S. consumers would bear the brunt, echoing findings from the Peterson Institute for International Economics.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has maintained a constructive tone, signaling a willingness to cooperate, but escalating trade tensions could lead to “greater chaos” for the U.S. economy, particularly in sectors dependent on intricate global supply chains.

📈 U.S. Inflation Rises to 2.6%, Complicating the Fed’s Next Move
Inflation in the U.S. climbed to 2.6% in October, up from 2.4% the previous month, as the Federal Reserve weighs a possible rate cut at its December meeting. Core inflation, excluding food and energy, held steady at 3.3% annually, with monthly core prices rising 0.3% for the third consecutive month.
With futures markets pricing an 80% chance of a quarter-point rate cut, the Fed faces the challenge of balancing inflation control with economic growth. Chair Jay Powell reiterated that inflation will likely decline gradually but unevenly. However, analysts caution that Trump’s proposed tariffs could reignite inflationary pressures, complicating the Fed’s path toward its 2% target.

✈️ Spirit Airlines Files for Bankruptcy Amid $2.2 Billion Loss
Budget carrier Spirit Airlines has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after racking up over $2.2 billion in losses since 2020. The filing follows a blocked merger with JetBlue, rising competition, and engine issues that grounded part of its fleet. Spirit, carrying $9 billion in debt, plans to restructure and emerge from bankruptcy by early 2025.
The airline assured customers that tickets, credits, and loyalty points remain valid. To raise funds, Spirit will pursue compensation for engine defects from Pratt & Whitney and has delayed aircraft deliveries. This marks the first major U.S. airline bankruptcy in over a decade, underscoring the challenges budget carriers face as operational costs soar and competition from “basic economy” fares intensifies.
