In recent developments, China is preparing to respond to the escalating trade tensions initiated by Trump’s tariffs. Collectively, Chinese officials and businesses have expressed their strong opposition to these tariffs, which they view as a serious violation of trade agreements. As Mexico and Canada also retaliate, Beijing is poised to take action, including filing a lawsuit with the WTO and considering retaliatory measures. Despite the challenges posed by the tariffs, analysts suggest that China is better prepared for a trade war than in previous encounters. Furthermore, there are indications that China may be open to negotiating terms with the U.S., potentially including discussions around TikTok and restoring past trade agreements. However, the overall sentiment remains one of caution, as the Chinese community braces for economic impacts while vowing to protect its interests.
