In Depth: China’s export machine stalls under Trump’s new trade blitz
Chinese manufacturers are scrambling to respond after U.S. President Donald Trump announced sweeping new tariffs on Chinese goods, delivering the heaviest blow yet to industries already reeling from years of trade tensions.
Under Trump’s newly unveiled “Reciprocal Tariff” system, Chinese exports face a 34% increase on top of the existing 20% duties, pushing total tariffs to 54% starting April 9. Simultaneously, the U.S. will end duty-free exemptions for small parcels valued under $800 and impose new tariffs by June 1.
