If you’re looking for a comprehensive guide to understanding what the 2024 US election means for Washington and the world, look no further than the White House Watch newsletter. This newsletter provides valuable insights and analysis on the latest developments in US politics and their impact on the global stage.

In recent news, China has announced that it will impose an additional 50 per cent tariff on US goods, on top of the 34 per cent already in place. This move is seen as a tit-for-tat retaliation against US President Donald Trump’s tariffs in the ongoing trade war between the two largest economies in the world. The Office of the Customs Tariff Commission of China’s State Council stated that these new tariffs would come into effect after midday in Beijing on Thursday.

The increased tariffs will apply to a wide range of US goods, including machinery, semiconductors, agriculture, and more. Economists predict that the total tariffs charged by China on US goods will exceed 100 per cent once the new levies take effect. This escalation in trade tensions is a cause for concern for both American and Chinese business leaders, who had hoped for negotiations to resolve the dispute.

Despite the escalating tensions, there have been no talks between Beijing and Washington to defuse the situation. While other countries in Asia have reached out to the Trump administration to start negotiations, China and the US have remained silent on the matter. However, some economists believe that there is still hope for a resolution once the true impact of the trade war becomes clear.

In addition to the tariffs, China has also added 12 US companies to its export control list and six American groups to its “unreliable entity” list. This move could limit their ability to do business in China. The trade war has also prompted Beijing to release a government white paper expressing its willingness to communicate with the US while emphasizing the need for countermeasures in response to Trump’s tariffs.

The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China has criticized the US tariffs, stating that they undermine the principles of global trade and investment. As the trade war continues, it poses challenges for Chinese President Xi Jinping, who is relying on exports to navigate a domestic slowdown caused by a property crisis.

In conclusion, the escalating trade war between the US and China has far-reaching implications for both countries and the global economy. Stay informed with the White House Watch newsletter to get in-depth analysis and insights on this critical issue.
