United States

The United States appears in elsewhere's corpus primarily as an economic and geopolitical actor rather than as a profiled entity in its own right. Per a 2023 峰瑞资本 analysis, the U.S. economy showed notable resilience during the Fed's tightening cycle, with consumption—supported by services employment, government spending, and pandemic-era household "excess savings"—driving GDP growth that was revised upward to 2% in Q1 2023 . This resilience was uneven, however: manufacturing and tech saw layoffs, PMI stayed below 50 for over eight months, and the yield curve remained inverted for a year .

The same source frames the U.S. as structurally distinct from China—its economy over 80% services-based versus China's heavier industrial weight—and notes Washington's strategic shift from "decoupling" to "de-risking" in its China policy, combining tech restrictions with geopolitical messaging . A 2024 峰瑞资本 report adds that decades of "manufacturing reshoring" rhetoric across administrations has yielded limited results: the U.S. still lost millions of factory jobs since 2002, and post-2022 investment spikes from legislation like the CHIPS Act began fading by 2024 . Elsewhere's corpus does not contain a dedicated institutional or historical profile of the United States as a subject.
