Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the imminent implementation of Trump's tariff policies in early April, focusing on the implications for various industries and the potential impact on U.S.-China trade relations [1][2]. Tariff Policy Implementation - Key tariff-related developments set to take effect in early April include the "America First Trade Policy" memorandum investigation, reciprocal tariffs, secondary tariffs on Venezuelan oil imports, and automobile tariffs [1][2]. - The "America First Trade Policy" memorandum, released on January 20, 2025, indicates a shift in Trump's negotiation strategy regarding trade relations with China, moving away from border security as the primary justification for tariffs [2]. Reciprocal Tariffs - The imposition of reciprocal tariffs will consider tariffs, turnover taxes, regulations, and non-tariff trade barriers [3]. - Targeted economies for these tariffs may include India, Brazil, Vietnam, South Korea, and certain sectors in the EU and Japan, as they have higher average tariff rates compared to the U.S. [3][4]. Industry Impact Analysis - The impact of tariffs on exports is non-linear, with industries facing higher cumulative tariff rates experiencing more significant declines in exports to the U.S. in the first two months of the year [5]. - Industries with cumulative tariff rates between 40% and 50%, such as leather goods, automobiles, and wooden products, saw an average export growth decline of 46.2 percentage points compared to the previous year [5]. Labor-Intensive Industries - Labor-intensive industries in China, such as toys, furniture, and footwear, have a high proportion of revenue from U.S. exports, making them more vulnerable to additional cost pressures from tariffs [6]. - The revenue share from U.S. exports for these labor-intensive sectors is notably high, with toys at 32.6%, furniture at 25.0%, and footwear at 24.3% [6]. Macro Economic Trends - The macroeconomic environment shows a decline in industrial enterprise revenue and profit growth in early 2025, with profit margins shifting towards lower-end industries [7]. - The decrease in profit margins is primarily attributed to falling profitability in the upstream mining sector, likely linked to declining coal prices [7].
