China attacks UK trade deal with US
SHARE

China has expressed concern over a recent trade deal between the UK and US that could potentially exclude Chinese products from British supply chains. This development has complicated London’s efforts to improve relations with Beijing. The trade deal, which was finalized last week, includes stringent security requirements for the UK’s steel and pharmaceutical industries. This deal was the first of its kind under the Trump administration, following the announcement of reciprocal tariffs.

In response to the trade deal, China emphasized the importance of agreements between countries not targeting other nations. The Chinese foreign ministry stated that cooperation between states should not be at the expense of third parties’ interests. This stance has put the UK in a challenging position between the two economic superpowers and may hinder its attempts to reset relations with China.

Beijing has cautioned countries against signing trade deals with the US that could potentially harm Chinese interests. There are concerns that President Trump may use bilateral negotiations to pressure America’s trading partners to exclude China from supply chains. Consequently, China has been expediting efforts to remove foreign components from its supply chains to mitigate the impact of trade disruptions.

The recent trade agreement between the US and UK resulted in reduced tariffs on British car and steel exports. However, a 10% baseline tariff on British goods still remains in place. The tariff relief for specific sectors was contingent on the UK meeting US requirements related to supply chain security and ownership of production facilities. UK officials have acknowledged that China is the primary target of these conditions.

The UK’s acceptance of the security clauses in the trade deal has raised eyebrows in Beijing, especially since the UK government, under Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, had been working towards strengthening ties with China. Chinese government advisers have expressed the view that China should address this issue in talks with the UK, although immediate retaliation may not be necessary.

The US and China recently agreed to a 90-day truce in their trade war, with Washington temporarily reducing tariffs on Chinese imports. This development could potentially impact the levels of tariffs on Chinese products in the UK as well. Despite signing the trade deal with the US, the UK government has reiterated the importance of trade and investment with China, highlighting that engagement with China aligns with UK and global interests.

In conclusion, the trade dynamics between the US, China, and the UK are complex and evolving. The recent trade agreement between the UK and US has raised concerns in Beijing, underscoring the delicate balance the UK must maintain between its relationships with the two economic giants. As negotiations continue and trade policies evolve, it is crucial for all parties involved to navigate these challenges diplomatically and in a manner that promotes sustainable economic growth and cooperation.
