Today, the spotlight remains on escalating U.S. tariffs targeting China, as average effective rates on Chinese goods reached a staggering 51.1% by May, the highest level since the 1930s according to a recent analysis by ainvest.com. The impact is substantial: China’s manufacturing sector, as reported in late August, has contracted for five straight months, with its Purchasing Managers’ Index dropping to 49.4. Supply chains are being reconfigured globally and China is aggressively diversifying toward Southeast Asia and India, but U.S. tariffs continue to hit exports hard.
Listeners may recall the reciprocal tariff back-and-forth between Washington and Beijing earlier this year. After tense negotiations in May and June, both sides agreed on temporary reductions: U.S. tariffs dropped from as high as 145% to 30% for some goods, and China responded in kind. Certain U.S. tariffs on Chinese shipments valued under $800 were slashed from 120% to 54%. By July, Bloomberg reported that President Trump began softening his rhetoric on China to secure a high-level summit. On July 29, the U.S. and China agreed to extend the pause in these tariffs for another 90 days, pending further talks.
However, the legal status of these tariffs is suddenly in question. On August 30, Fortune reported that a federal appeals court ruled President Trump had overreached by declaring national emergencies to justify blanket tariffs, undermining the core legal mechanism behind his trade strategy. Although the tariffs remain in place for now—at least through October 14, 2025—the path forward likely leads to the Supreme Court. The White House responded defiantly on social media, with President Trump warning that removal of these tariffs would be “a total disaster” for the U.S. Treasury, which currently relies on tariffs for a significant portion of its revenue.
Meanwhile, as the U.S. Office of the Trade Representative confirmed, some exclusions from Section 301 tariffs on Chinese goods have been extended through August 31, though the outlook for broader relief remains uncertain.
And in the technology sector, the U.S. has postponed a scheduled 25% tariff on GPUs, CPUs, and other high-tech imports from China until December 1, but prices for these components remain sharply higher than pre-tariff levels.
Tensions have also emerged over China’s rare earth magnet exports, with President Trump threatening new tariffs of up to 200% if Beijing restricts shipments. This standoff underscores just how entwined modern technology remains with the tariffs drama and the complex balance of trade power.
