As of April 2025, tensions between the USA and China have reached a critical level, characterized by an escalation of the trade war and diplomatic disagreements. The USA has imposed tariffs of up to 245% on Chinese goods, in response, China has established tariffs of up to 125% on American products and warned of potential retaliatory measures against countries making deals with the USA to the detriment of Beijing's interests.
Washington seeks to isolate China, persuading more than 70 countries to limit cooperation with Beijing. China, in turn, calls for an equal dialogue and condemns the 'maximum pressure' policy.
Analysts warn of the risk of economic collapse due to the lack of compromises between the parties. The President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, described the situation as 'explosive', noting that the containment of the conflict largely depends on China's efforts.
Thus, relations between the USA and China are on the brink, and the further development of events will depend on the willingness of the parties to compromise and engage in dialogue.
