#TariffsPause What happened:

Recently, the U.S. decided to pause or delay some new tariffs on Chinese goods.

This means no immediate new taxes on some imports — at least for now.

Why:

Inflation is still a problem — adding new tariffs could raise prices even more for U.S. consumers.

The U.S. also doesn’t want to spark a full-blown trade war right before a U.S. election.

Pausing tariffs keeps negotiations with China a little more peaceful while still showing toughness in areas like tech, EVs, and solar.

China's reaction:

China generally welcomes a pause because it helps their exporters survive during a rough economy.

But China is also bracing for other moves like targeted tariffs (example: EVs, batteries, steel).

Summary:

The tariff pause is a tactical move: keep U.S. inflation down, avoid shocking the economy, but still keep pressure on China in sensitive industries
