#USChinaTensions
Trade War Escalates
The U.S.–China trade conflict has intensified, with the U.S. imposing tariffs up to 145% on Chinese imports. China retaliated with 125% tariffs on American goods and warned other nations against aligning with U.S. trade policies.
Beyond tariffs, tensions have extended to strategic sectors. China has restricted exports of rare earth elements vital to U.S. defense manufacturing. Additionally, a Boeing 737 MAX destined for a Chinese airline was returned to the U.S., signaling deeper trade disruptions.
