The United States has experienced an economic downturn driven by policy.

The latest data released by the US Department of Commerce on April 30th showed that the country's Gross Domestic Product shrank by 0.3% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the previous year. Wei Liang, deputy director of the Institute of Macroeconomic and Strategic Studies at the China Institute of Modern International Relations, stated that the negative economic growth in the US in the first quarter of 2025 is unprecedented in recent years. Based on current data, it is clear that the US economy is experiencing an economic downturn driven by policies. As long as the US government does not withdraw policies such as imposing tariffs, the US economy will continue to deteriorate, leading to a vicious cycle of panic amplification and economic decline.
