In April 2025, the U.S.-China trade war leaped exponentially when China slapped a 34% tariff on everything America exports in retaliation against President Trump's tariffs. The retaliatory tariff is the exact thing the U.S.'s tariffs are and is added to the imposition of export controls on rare earth minerals. China further complained to the World Trade Organization (WTO) questioning the legality of the U.S. tariffs by WTO rules.
Along with tariffs, China is expanding trade sanctions and export controls, adding 27 American companies to lists that restrict trade and banning sales of "dual-use" products to 16 of the companies. The actions are part of a coordinated Chinese effort to counter the economic pressure being applied by the U.S.
The effects of this escalating trade war are now being felt globally with market volatility and increasing fear of a potential recession. This is complemented by other countries devising retaliatory actions of their own against the U.S., indicating that the row expands with the potential to have long-lasting effects on world trade and economic stability
