Recently, in order to brag about his "economic achievements" in the past four years, US President Biden took the opportunity to criticize Trump's plan to impose tariffs as a "major mistake."
However, just one day after Biden criticized Trump's tariff plan, the Biden administration announced new tariffs on key materials imported from China.
Recently, the Office of the United States Trade Representative announced that it will increase tariffs on solar wafers and polysilicon (necessary components for manufacturing solar panels) imported from China from 25% to 50%; and certain tungsten used in the manufacture of electronic products and semiconductors Products will be subject to a new tariff of 25%.
These products are inAerospace, Automotive, Defense, Medical, and Oil & GasWidely used in industry.
The new import tariffs will take effect on January 1, 2025, just weeks before Trump's inauguration on January 20.
The U.S. government claims that the purpose of this move is to weaken China's interference in material prices due to state subsidies and other factors, thereby ensuring the competitiveness of related industries in the United States. However, this will undoubtedly intensify the trade friction between China and the United States and may further increase the burden on American consumers and businesses.
It is worth noting that although Biden criticized Trump's tariff policy, he did not actually change its overall framework. Instead, he took more measures to strengthen the suppression of China's economy.
This includes the implementation of export controls in the technology industry and the blockade of the semiconductor industry. As Trump enters the White House for the second time, he may further increase tariffs on Chinese goods, triggering a more intense trade conflict.
Looking to the future, trade frictions between China and the United States will continue to exist. Although tariff policies may put pressure on China's economy in the short term, the trend of global economic integration is difficult to reverse.
Therefore, how China and the United States find space for cooperation amid competition will become the key to the direction of the global economy. Ordinary consumers and businesses need to pay close attention to policy changes and adjust strategies to reduce cost pressures.
At the same time, we should also respond rationally to the current situation and be fully prepared.
