#USChinaTensions
#USChinaTensions US-China tensions remain elevated in April 2025, primarily fueled by trade imbalances, technology competition, and geopolitical differences. Following President Trump's return to office, tariffs on Chinese goods have significantly increased, reaching an average of 134.7%. China has retaliated with tariffs on US products, averaging 106.6%. These escalating trade measures have disrupted global supply chains and increased costs for consumers.
Beyond trade, the US and China are vying for technological leadership, particularly in areas like 5G, AI, and semiconductors.
