US Imposes 245% Tariffs on Chinese Imports Amid Trade War
The Trump administration has sharply escalated tariffs on Chinese imports, raising duties to as high as 245% in response to Chinese retaliation, aiming to pressure Beijing to alter its trade practices and isolate China from countries willing to negotiate. These escalating tariffs, coupled with export controls from both sides, risk a near-total collapse of US-China bilateral trade and are accelerating economic decoupling between the two countries. While the US move is seen as economically punitive for China, it may also push China to strengthen ties with other global partners, enhancing its geopolitical influence. The growing disconnect between intellectual property ownership in the West and manufacturing in the Global South, particularly China, has intensified under these trade tensions, complicating global business operations and IP management. American public opinion remains skeptical of the benefits of increased tariffs: a plurality believes China profits more from the trade relationship, but most doubt that higher tariffs will help the US economy or their personal finances. Political and generational divides persist, with older and Republican Americans more likely to see China as the main beneficiary of US-China trade.
