The China vs USA trade war is a major economic conflict that began in 2018, marked by both countries imposing tariffs on billions of dollars’ worth of each other’s goods. It stems from disputes over trade imbalances, intellectual property rights, and technology transfer. The U.S. accused China of unfair trade practices, while China criticized American protectionism. This ongoing battle has disrupted global markets, increased costs for consumers and businesses, and created uncertainty in international trade. Although efforts have been made to reach agreements, tensions remain high. The trade war reflects deeper strategic competition between the world’s two largest economies.
