China Slams New UKāUS Trade Deal
Is the UK picking sides in a new economic war?
Beijing is not happy with the newly signed UKāUS trade pact, calling it a direct attempt to block Chinese goods from British supply chains.
ā ļø What Happened?
The deal includes intense security tests for UK steel & pharma sectors, and Beijing says it's targeted at China ā not just about trade, but strategy.
Trump's influence is clear:
UK must accept a 10% tariff baseline unless it passes US national security tests ā rules Trump reportedly designed to undercut China.
China Responds Swiftly
Foreign Ministry: "Co-operation should not harm third parties"
China is restructuring its own supply chains, phasing out foreign parts
Announced tariff cuts on US goods (from 125% to 10%) to ease tensions
But make no mistakeā¦
Beijing sees this deal as the UK siding with Washington.
And the UK? They're trying to play both sides ā claiming the deal will "protect jobs" while also insisting that trade with China remains key.
Markets are watching.
This might just be the beginning of a bigger shift in global supply dynamics.
