China May Pause Tariffs on Some U.S. Goods as Trade Pressures Grow

China is thinking about temporarily stopping its high 125% tariffs on certain U.S. goods, like medical equipment and important industrial chemicals. This move would follow recent signs of cooperation from the U.S. and shows how closely the two countries' economies are linked.

The possible change is a sign that China is adjusting its approach. The ongoing trade fight is now starting to hurt its own key industries, especially those that rely on advanced U.S. technology or materials like ethane, which is crucial for making plastics.

In short, China’s tough tariffs—meant to show strength—are now causing problems at home, leading the country to rethink its strategy.
