In 2020, the United States announced an increase in tariffs on certain Chinese goods, covering key areas such as electric vehicles, batteries, semiconductors, and steel. This move is seen as a measure to protect domestic industries and respond to China's 'non-market behavior.' Tariffs can be as high as 100%, specifically targeting Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers. China strongly opposes this, claiming that the U.S. violates World Trade Organization rules and reserves the right to retaliate. This action may exacerbate trade tensions between China and the U.S. and impact global supply chains. There are also divisions within the U.S., with some businesses concerned about rising costs and market instability. Analysts believe that this move is more driven by geopolitical and electoral considerations, and that future economic relations between China and the U.S. may become more complex.
