The US has postponed the decision to impose extra tariff on China for 90 days.
US President Donald Trump has postponed the decision to impose extra tariffs on China for 90 days. Trump told in a social media post that the deadline of America-China tariff has been extended till 9 November. At present, the US has put 30 percent tariff on China. In April, the US threatened to impose tariffs up to 245 per cent on China. While replying to this, China had asked to impose 125 percent tariffs on America. Now America has become kind to China.
America’s kindness on China is not the only reason. America threatens a million, but the figures show to what extent the country of Trump is dependent on China. Taking up with China in business may cost America expensive. Along with this, the opposition of American companies can also become a reason.
How much dependent on America China?
How important China is for America, it confirms import figures. According to the data of US Import data, America seeks most things from three countries. The first position is Mexico, China on the second and Canada on the third. It is not at all that America is far behind in manufacturing, but is also compelled to make China a trade partner and run business. Why this is so, now let’s understand it.
Why China is necessary for America, 5 big reasons
1- Cheap goods China’s strength, America’s compulsion
Labor is cheaper in China. The population is more. As a result, companies get employees at low salary and the cost of the product is low. This is the biggest strength of China, taking advantage of which it sells cheap equal by doing business with most countries of the world.
2- Manufacturing more and strong supply chain
China makes things on a large scale. Its biggest strength is Man Power, which China has a lot of numbers. The shipping time from China to America may be long, but the production capacity and port networks make it special. Permanent trading routes and infrastructure with both countries are well established, which are increasing dependence.
3- American companies invest in China
According to the World Economic Forum, American companies have invested on a large scale in China, but after the recent tariff dispute, American companies have been alerted in China. Investment is cutting. Survey 2025 of the US-China Business Council (USCBC) found that 48% of American companies are planning to invest in China this year amid current tariff conditions, which is much lower than 80% of the investment planning in 2024.
China-America
4- Twist and increased dependence after 2001
After joining the WTO in 2001, China opened to the US market, and companies shifted there massive production there. In both countries, American companies invested extensively in factories and assembling plants, making business dependence deeper. Many American companies still work to outsource some parts of their production in Mexico and China.
5- American policy is also a reason
China keeps the business organized. Factory, part supply and logistics hub, all are close here. This is not the case in America. Things are scattered here. The US has increased its factory capacity for high value and high tech sector. At the same time, it imports low -cost goods from China and Mexico countries. Low cost and large -scale goods buy from China and Mexico.
What do America and China buy from each other?
America asks such things from China which are cheap and are in demand in the country. Such as electrical machinery, equipment, toys, game console. These are the goods that America buys the most from China. Apart from this, many types of consumer goods including furniture, plastic are called.
China asked for the US in 2024 in the year 2024, ordered mineral fuel, oil seeds, machinery, aircraft. Apart from this, imported soybean, crude petroleum, electrical machinery.
