Tariff Impact - The U.S. government announced a 34% "reciprocal tariff" on Chinese imports, prompting China to implement a similar 34% tariff on all U.S. imports starting April 10, 2025[1] - China's three rounds of countermeasures are expected to raise the average tariff rate on U.S. imports by approximately 36 percentage points[2] - Due to a decline in trade dependency, U.S. imports accounted for only 6.3% of China's total imports and 0.9% of GDP in 2024, limiting the overall impact of these tariffs[2][10] Price Effects - Industries heavily reliant on U.S. imports, such as machinery (23%), chemicals (14%), and minerals (14%), may experience significant price increases due to the tariffs[3][15] - Despite potential price pressures in specific sectors, the overall impact on domestic prices is expected to be moderate due to the low share of U.S. imports in China's total imports[3][4] Export Dynamics - In 2024, China's exports to the U.S. were valued at $524.7 billion, representing 14.7% of total exports, down from 19.2% in 2018[4] - The machinery sector accounted for 41.6% of exports to the U.S., indicating that this sector may face the most significant short-term impacts from tariff increases[4][17] Domestic Demand - The key to mitigating the impact of U.S. tariffs lies in effectively converting external demand into domestic demand, particularly in sectors like machinery, daily goods, and textiles[5][21] - Strengthening domestic consumption and providing subsidies to affected industries could serve as effective countermeasures against U.S. tariff increases[5]
