stagnation: 경기 침체
We haven’t seen any economic growth here to speak of for years and 2025 looks set to be another year of stagnation.

strife: 갈등
The governing coalition here collapsed in November after months of political strife and arguments and there are snap elections in February.

But the more pessimistic Chinese people are about their economy, the more likely these already conservative consumers are to save more rather than spend more.
