Economic Earthquake: Trump's China Tariff

The article discusses the escalating trade war between the United States and China, specifically focusing on the potential for further tariff increases. It highlights a statement from US Trade Representative Katherine Tai, who expressed intentions to consider escalating tariffs on China if the country does not change its economic policies. These policies, according to the U.S., include state subsidies and other measures that give Chinese companies an unfair advantage. The piece emphasizes the already significant level of tariffs imposed on China under both the Trump and Biden administrations, estimating them to be around 120 percent when combined. The article positions this as an unprecedented level of trade restriction. find the original article here: https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2025/04/09/kqxt-a09.html
