  • US Imposes Massive 55 Percent Tariffs on China Amid Trade War Escalation Threatening Global Supply Chains and Jobs

    US Imposes Massive 55 Percent Tariffs on China Amid Trade War Escalation Threatening Global Supply Chains and Jobs
    Jul 9 2025
    Welcome to the China Tariff News and Tracker podcast. Today is July 9, 2025, and there are major updates on the tariff front between the United States and China under the Trump administration. Listeners, the big headline right now is that the United States and China reached a pivotal deal in June, setting U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports at a massive 55 percent, while China’s tariffs on American goods stand at 10 percent, according to Time Magazine. This represents one of the highest tariff rates from the U.S. side in decades and is part of a broader effort by President Trump to fundamentally reshape the terms of trade with China.

    Just this week, President Trump issued an executive order updating neighbors and partners on new reciprocal tariffs, but importantly, the changes and deadline extensions do not apply to China. The 55 percent tariff rate remains locked in for Chinese imports under Executive Order 14298 from May 12, 2025, as outlined by trade law experts at internationaltradeinsights.com. Other countries, like Japan and South Korea, have had their deadline for higher tariffs pushed to August 1 to allow more time for negotiations, but China is excluded from any extension or negotiation window at this time.

    This hardline stance is reshaping supply chains across Asia. Politico reports the White House has recently pressured countries like Vietnam to clamp down on transshipment of Chinese goods, threatening a 40 percent tariff on goods routed to the U.S. that originate in China. China’s Ministry of Commerce has condemned these deals, urging all parties to resist what it calls “tariff exemptions at the expense of China’s interests.” Chinese officials are calling for adherence to international trade rules, reminding Asian countries that their economic futures remain closely tied to China, whose trade with ASEAN nations topped $900 billion last year—double the region’s U.S. trade.

    The economic cost of these tariffs is significant for the U.S. Michael Waugh of the Minneapolis Fed calculates the tariff rate on China jumped by 28.2 percentage points since February 1, 2025, meaning the current tariffs are costing the U.S. nearly 650,000 jobs due to higher input costs. If the U.S. were to revert to the peak tariff levels imposed earlier this spring, job losses could balloon to 2.3 million nationwide. Additional Chinese retaliation could strip away another 307,000 American jobs, particularly harming agricultural regions like the Midwest, which are heavily exposed to Chinese countermeasures.

    Listeners, as we watch for next steps, the Trump administration’s stance is clear: tariffs on China are here to stay for now, and the economic and geopolitical ripple effects are just beginning to play out.

  • US China Trade War Escalates: Tariffs Reach 17.6% Highest Since 1934 Impacting Households and Global Markets

    US China Trade War Escalates: Tariffs Reach 17.6% Highest Since 1934 Impacting Households and Global Markets
    Jul 8 2025
    Welcome to today’s episode of China Tariff News and Tracker. Significant tariff and trade news is breaking this week as the United States, under President Trump’s administration, maintains its tough posture toward China, keeping listeners on edge for changes that could impact global markets and daily lives alike.

    Currently, imports from China face a 10% baseline reciprocal tariff rate, as detailed by the White House’s announcement on July 7. Despite a temporary 90-day suspension of increased tariffs on several major trading partners, this suspension specifically does not apply to China. For Chinese goods, tariffs and regulatory pressure remain in full effect. The special suspension for other partners has now been extended until August 1, but nothing has softened for shipments from the People’s Republic of China.

    In related measures, the U.S. government has tightened rules around the “de minimis” exemption, which allowed low-value packages—typically under $800—to enter the U.S. without duties. As of May, President Trump ordered that eligible Chinese-origin goods now face duties of 54% ad valorem or $100 per item for international postal shipments. This threshold, meant to exempt less expensive consumer imports, is being phased out for Chinese goods, causing a sharp spike in costs for e-commerce and small-scale imports.

    Analysis from the Budget Lab at Yale notes that the cumulative effect of U.S. tariffs in 2025 has driven the national average tariff rate to 17.6%. That’s the highest since 1934. For American households, this means a price level increase of about 1.7% in the short term, reducing average household income by roughly $2,300 for the year. The trade war’s cost is visible in consumer wallets, with the most severe effects felt by lower-income families.

    On the diplomatic front, the Council on Foreign Relations reports that recent U.S.-China trade talks in Geneva and London have shown little movement. Despite the Biden administration’s efforts to find stability, Beijing continues its dual-track response—diversifying trade alliances, accelerating domestic tech development, and enforcing its own export controls. China’s leadership is doubling down on self-reliance and appears prepared for a prolonged standoff, using U.S. pressure as a rallying point for both party loyalty and innovation.

    As China’s economy transitions into the next Five-Year Plan, major bets are being placed on artificial intelligence and domestic manufacturing. The new tariffs may sting, but Chinese policymakers show little sign of distress, having weathered worse in past decades. Instead, the current climate is invigorating China’s efforts to reduce dependence on the U.S. market while leveraging technology to drive future growth.

    Listeners should stay tuned as these reciprocal tariff measures and Beijing’s response continue to reshape the economic relationship between the world’s two largest economies. We’ll be tracking every headline, policy shift, and market ripple so you don’t have to.

  • US-China Trade Tensions Ease: Tariffs Reduced to 30% with Potential Snap-Back Looming in August 2025

    US-China Trade Tensions Ease: Tariffs Reduced to 30% with Potential Snap-Back Looming in August 2025
    Jul 7 2025
    Listeners, welcome to China Tariff News and Tracker, where we keep you updated on the latest tariffs, trade headlines, and breaking policy developments between the United States and China. Today is July 7, 2025, and the trade landscape between the world’s two largest economies remains as turbulent as ever.

    After a dramatic escalation throughout early 2025, the average US tariff on Chinese goods reached an unprecedented 145 percent by mid-spring. These increases were driven by a sequence of executive orders from President Trump, who raised tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and other statutes. The hikes included a universal 10 percent tariff on all countries, a 20 percent “fentanyl” tariff specific to China, and a sharp, country-specific reciprocal tariff that surged from 34 percent in early April to 84 percent and then to 125 percent in just two days, with the sum total hitting Chinese imports with a rate of 145 percent, according to China Briefing and the Tax Foundation. Meanwhile, China had retaliated quickly, imposing an 84 percent tariff on US goods, nearly matching Washington’s moves.

    In a significant diplomatic breakthrough, both sides agreed in Geneva in May to temporarily de-escalate. As announced by the White House and China’s Ministry of Commerce, the reciprocal tariffs were brought down to 10 percent for both countries, with the 20 percent fentanyl tariff still in effect on Chinese goods. The combined US tariff on Chinese imports now sits at 30 percent for a 90-day period set to expire in mid-August. Should no further deal be reached, tariffs are set to snap back up, likely returning to the 34 percent level first imposed in April, rather than the emergency 125 percent rate.

    According to a White House fact sheet, President Trump hailed this agreement as a historic win for the United States, highlighting not only the reduction of Chinese tariffs but also the suspension of non-tariff countermeasures. China, in turn, removed its retaliatory tariffs and suspended restrictions placed since the spring escalation.

    Despite the truce, both governments signaled that these tariff cuts are provisional, meant to create space for continued talks. Negotiations are reportedly focused on persistent concerns over intellectual property, market access, and the cross-border flow of sensitive technology. The White House’s 2025 Trade Policy Agenda reiterates America’s aim to secure “fair and reciprocal” terms, while Chinese officials have warned they will match any future escalation tit-for-tat.

    Listeners, these developments mean that US importers and exporters remain in a temporary holding pattern—with a 30 percent US tariff on Chinese goods and a 10 percent Chinese tariff on US goods holding steady, but the threat of a return to much higher rates looming if talks derail after August.
