Trump's return to the White House signals major shifts in U.S.-China relations

With Donald Trump back in the White House, U.S.-China relations are expected to change significantly. Trump’s approach may dismantle the structured diplomacy established during the Biden administration, leading to potential misunderstandings and instability. Trump has indicated plans to increase tariffs on Chinese goods, with proposals suggesting a broad 10% import tax and possible hikes up to 60%. This marks a shift from Biden's targeted tariffs and could disrupt supply chains and raise prices for American consumers. National security will also be a focus, with Trump likely to maintain or expand technology restrictions on China. His impulsive leadership style may create uncertainty, raising concerns about economic friction and strained alliances in the coming months.
