#USChinaTensions increased as trade wars escalated. The United States imposed a 245% tariff on imports from China, citing retaliatory measures from Beijing, while China raised tariffs on U.S. goods to 125%. Global markets trembled in the aftermath, with rising fears of economic decoupling. Diplomatic efforts stalled—Trump demanded direct negotiations with China, but Beijing resisted, calling for respect and dialogue. China's new trade negotiator signaled a readiness to cope with pressure from the U.S., while non-tariff measures, such as restrictions on U.S. companies, emerged. Both countries remained resolute, raising the risks of broader military and financial tensions. The world watches as this confrontation reshapes global trade dynamics.
