China stocks, yuan cautiously firm after Trump delays tariffs
SHANGHAI/HONG KONG (Reuters) -Chinese stocks and the yuan tentatively rose on Tuesday, with investors relieved that U.S. President Donald Trump did not announce hefty trade tariffs at his inauguration but unwilling to bet this meant improved U.S.-Sino relations.

Trump also signed an executive order delaying the enforcement of a ban on popular short-video app TikTok, but said he might impose tariffs on China if Beijing does not approve a potential U.S. deal with TikTok.
