  • US China Trade War Escalates: Trump Imposes Highest Tariffs in Decades, Targeting Electronics, Minerals, and Critical Sectors

    US China Trade War Escalates: Trump Imposes Highest Tariffs in Decades, Targeting Electronics, Minerals, and Critical Sectors
    2025/09/10
    Listeners, here’s your September 2025 update on tariffs and the evolving trade relationship between the US and China. With President Trump’s return to office, tariff policy has shifted dramatically in recent months, and China remains squarely in the crosshairs.

    As of September, Trump’s baseline reciprocal tariff rate on China has risen to between 15% and 20%. This new baseline, announced in July and effective early August, applies to a wide range of Chinese imports, including strategic sectors like electronics, industrial machinery, and textiles. The Peterson Institute for International Economics confirms that these new reciprocal tariffs are among the highest imposed on any major US trading partner this decade.

    For listeners in business and logistics, Section 301 tariffs remain critical. According to Freightos, most Chinese goods now face tariffs between 7.5% and 25%, depending on category. These rates are layered atop recent increases, pushing the effective tariff burden dramatically higher, with importers now routinely paying as much as 25% on shipments from China.

    Wipfli advises that tariffs in 2025 have reached levels not seen since the Great Depression. Average rates on all US imports, thanks to stacking rules under various trade laws, now approach 18%. Virtually all Chinese-origin goods, including metals, critical minerals, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductors, are subject to tariffs, with some specialized goods seeing rates above 50%.

    In a significant update, the de minimis exemption—previously allowing low-value shipments to bypass tariffs—was revoked in May. The Commerce Department now collects duties of 54% ad valorem or $100 per item on Chinese-origin goods shipped via international mail, starting this summer. This change, designed to close loopholes and tackle Chinese fentanyl imports, hits both e-commerce and small businesses hard.

    It’s important to note that the landscape continues to shift. On September 5, Trump modified the list of affected goods, adding categories like copper, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and critical minerals, while removing some others. These changes took effect on September 8.

    China has responded in kind. Since March, Chinese authorities implemented countermeasures including 15% tariffs on US agricultural exports and 10% on a wide swath of other American goods, along with export controls on rare earths and critical minerals. These tit-for-tat restrictions are shaping major supply chain decisions for multinational companies.

    The impact zone is broad. Cargo volumes at US ports are declining as importers scramble to avoid new duties. Global Port Tracker and Hackett Associates report a 5.6% decline in US import volumes by year-end, with the outlook for late 2025 described as "not optimistic"—directly attributable to higher tariffs and continuing trade uncertainty.

  • US-China Trade War Escalates: Trump Raises Tariffs to Century High, Sparks Global Economic Tensions in 2025

    US-China Trade War Escalates: Trump Raises Tariffs to Century High, Sparks Global Economic Tensions in 2025
    2025/09/08
    Listeners, welcome to China Tariff News and Tracker. As of Monday, September 8, 2025, US-China trade tensions and tariffs remain at the center of global economic news, with frequent shifts driving headlines and policy debates.

    President Trump’s second administration has adopted the most aggressive tariff regime in modern US history. According to Wikipedia’s overview of tariffs in the second Trump term, the average US applied tariff rate shot up from just 2.5% at the start of the year to a staggering 27% by April—the highest level in over a century. Despite this sharp increase, both Washington and Beijing showed some willingness to negotiate. By early May, China had exempted about $40 billion worth of American goods from tariffs, while the US had exempted roughly $102 billion of Chinese imports based on 2024 trade volumes. Yet, official talks repeatedly stalled as Beijing insisted the US roll back its tariffs first.

    A major shift came in mid-May. US and Chinese officials, including US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and China’s Vice Premier He Lifeng, met in Switzerland to open the doors for negotiation. By May 12, both sides agreed to a temporary, steep reduction in tariffs for 90 days—US tariff rates on certain Chinese goods dropped dramatically from 145% to 30%, while China trimmed its rates on targeted American imports from 125% to just 10%. The US also cut tariffs on Chinese shipments valued below $800 from 120% to 54%. Still, the Trump administration maintained a tough stance on enforcement, with the so-called “de minimis” exemption officially revoked for Chinese imports on May 2. Now, goods arriving via international mail face high, specific duties per item.

    US Treasury Secretary Bessent, speaking to Fox Business, defended these heavy tariffs amid criticism from business groups and economists. He argued that the short-term pain—higher costs for some American consumers—is outweighed by long-term benefits like stronger US manufacturing and more domestic jobs. Bessent also pointed to record-breaking tariff revenue, with August alone seeing $31.4 billion collected, the highest monthly total in 2025, and $183.6 billion in revenue for the year so far.

    Trump supporters and administration officials continue to frame these tariffs as both a diplomatic lever and a needed tool for US industry. However, legal challenges to Trump’s authority over trade policy persist. On August 29, a federal appeals court ruled that tariff power resides with Congress unless a law specifically enables presidential action. This ruling is under appeal, but for now, Trump’s tariffs—especially those targeting China—remain in force, at least through October 14.

    That’s the latest on the US-China tariff front. This is a critical period for international trade and global manufacturing, and we’ll continue tracking every twist.

  • US-China Trade War Escalates: Trump Imposes 125% Tariffs, Consumers Face $2,400 Annual Cost Increase

    US-China Trade War Escalates: Trump Imposes 125% Tariffs, Consumers Face $2,400 Annual Cost Increase
    2025/09/07
    Listeners, welcome to China Tariff News and Tracker. On Sunday, September 7, 2025, US-China trade relations remain at the forefront of global headlines, with the latest round of tariffs shaking markets, businesses, and policymakers worldwide.

    President Donald Trump has pursued an aggressive tariff strategy against China since returning to the White House in January. According to a newly released White House fact sheet and executive orders, as of April 11, the US imposed “reciprocal tariffs” of 125% on Chinese imports, atop all existing tariffs. The measures came after Beijing retaliated with a 125% levy on American goods, escalating the already fraught trade war. These reciprocal tariffs took effect immediately, with the administration targeting a broad array of imports. For those tracking e-commerce, notably, low-value shipments from China entering the US by postal service are now subject to a 120% tariff or a flat postal duty, increasing to $200 per package after June 1.

    However, there has been a temporary shift. As reported by Specialty Fabrics Review and Economic Times, after a period of heated escalation, President Trump agreed to maintain the current tariff on Chinese imports at 30% until November 10, as ongoing negotiations offer a temporary respite. Meanwhile, China has held its retaliation at a 10% tariff on American goods for the same duration. Both sides are expected to revisit rates following talks potentially taking place alongside the APEC trade ministers' meeting in South Korea this October, where President Trump is reportedly planning to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping in person for further trade discussions.

    For American businesses and consumers, the reality of these tariff battles is already tangible. Economic analysis from the Budget Lab at Yale highlights the highest effective US tariff rate since 1934: an average of 18.3% for 2025—eight times higher than 2024. Tariffs targeting critical imports, including apparel, textiles, electronics, and consumer goods, have led to a predicted 1.8% spike in consumer prices, with the average US household shouldering an additional $2,400 in annual costs. Footwear and clothing stand out, with short-run price hikes of 40% and 38% respectively.

    The legal landscape remains unsettled. According to major regulatory law firms, a federal appeals court recently ruled that most Trump-imposed tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico were unlawful under current presidential emergency powers, but crucially, these tariffs remain in effect until litigation resolves, likely not before mid-October. Businesses are caught in a dilemma—navigating regulatory uncertainty, supply chain disruptions, and retaliatory trade barriers, while many move aggressively to nearshoring and automation to offset mounting costs.

    Farm states in the US face additional headwinds, as decades of relying on Chinese agricultural demand are disrupted by Beijing’s pivot to other suppliers, especially Brazil. Midwest farmers are divided: some see hope in Trump’s confrontational strategy eventually winning new trade access, while others doubt American farmers will reclaim lost Chinese markets anytime soon.

    In summary, tariff volatility continues to drive uncertainty in global supply chains and US business strategy, with high-level talks looming but little clarity on lasting resolution. Whether US-China trade resets or further escalates, listeners can expect ongoing turbulence through the end of the year.
