Impact of Tariffs on China
The potential return of Donald Trump to the presidency raises significant concerns for China's economy, which is already facing challenges due to a property crisis and lingering effects of COVID-19 lockdowns. Trump has indicated plans to impose tariffs as high as 60% on Chinese imports, a move that could deeply affect China's annual growth rates. Despite these threats, China has been diversifying its export base to mitigate reliance on U.S. markets, which could help cushion the economic blow. The prospect of higher tariffs not only threatens China's economic stability but also raises the risk of higher prices for American consumers.
