Trump's Tariff Crackdown: Chinese Export Expectations Drop Sharply

image

After Trump became the new president of the United States, he made a big deal about tariffs against other countries and issued a lot of related regulations on tariff increases. Various countries have been affected by a series of tariff clauses issued by Trump. According to the current situation, after the promulgation of the relevant tariff increase measures by Trump, China's import and export rate has been affected to varying degrees. Among them, the growth rate of export tariffs has slowed sharply, which is far more than expected at this stage, and the export rate has also dropped sharply at the same time.

It can be seen that China's export rate has decreased to a certain extent due to the saturation of its own domestic demand, which requires exports, but Trump's act of raising tariffs has greatly increased China's export costs and slowed down the export rate significantly. Similarly, in terms of import rates, Trump's increase in tariffs has also restricted China's imports of rare metals, steel and other materials to a certain extent. According to the available data, the U.S. government's own import rate fell by 5.6% and the export rate increased by 0.6% after Trump issued the tariff increase order. It can be seen that Trump's behavior of raising tariffs has improved the development of the U.S. government's own product manufacturing industry, and to a certain extent, it has also stimulated the economic development of the United States.

And Trump's series of tough tariffs have hit Chinese goods in particular. In just a few months after Trump took office, he has launched two rounds of tariff hikes against China, with a cumulative increase of 20%. According to official data, after Trump's tariff trade war, China's import rate of crops such as soybeans, iron ore and rare earths plummeted, which greatly affected the development of China's related industries. However, at the same time, China has also responded to the relevant tariff policies implemented by the US government, and in the face of the US government's move to raise tariffs on China, it has also correspondingly increased tariffs on some US goods, including energy resources and agricultural products, and at the same time, to a certain extent, restricted the export of certain key mineral resources needed by the United States.

According to the analysis of existing data, Trump's tariff policy of raising import and export tariffs has had a significant negative impact on China's export expectations. The U.S. government's recent increase in import and export tariffs of nearly 20 percent has put China's import and export business, which was expected to grow steadily, at risk of a sharp decline at this stage. Trump's trade war has imposed tariffs on China, and the increase in import and export tariffs has put pressure on China's economic development and affected the global trade landscape.

First of all, Trump's move to impose tariffs on China has greatly increased the cost of Chinese goods entering the U.S. market, resulting in a decline in the competitiveness of Chinese goods in the U.S. market, which in turn will affect the scale of China's exports to the United States. Problems such as reduced orders and overcapacity of Chinese enterprises exporting to the United States have affected the production and operation and economic benefits of enterprises, and the impact on the traditional manufacturing industry has become more obvious.

In the face of U.S. tariffs hitting China, China should also respond to it. Broaden the development of other international markets and trade cooperation, so as to reduce dependence on the US market. At the same time, we will increase the support for the development of our own industries in China, so as to promote industrial upgrading and innovative development. Improve the competitiveness of domestic industries, reduce dependence on external markets, and enhance the independent and controllable ability of China's economy.
