#USChinaTradeTalks

The trade negotiations between the United States and China are more than just simple treaties: they are silent battles for economic, technological, and geopolitical hegemony. What is at stake goes far beyond tariffs.

Recent context:

After the tensions of the Trump era (tariff war 2018–2020), the two countries have been trying to 'normalize' trade relations.

However, topics such as chips, AI, semiconductors, TikTok, and green energy continue to be sensitive points.

Main topics of current discussions:

1. Technological exports:

The U.S. imposes strict controls on chip exports to China.

2. Bilateral investments:

Multiple restrictions hinder the entry of Chinese companies into the U.S. (and vice versa).

3. Tariffs and subsidies:

China accuses the U.S. of distorting the market with 'green' subsidies; the U.S. accuses China of industrial dumping.

Implications for the world (including Angola and Portuguese-speaking countries):

Cryptocurrencies: global volatility increases with instability in the powers.

Exporters of raw materials (like Angola): may be indirectly affected by variations in Chinese demand.

Currency and dollar: decisions affect currency flow and may boost alternatives like digital yuan or cryptos.
