唐纳德·特朗普连任美国总统后，围绕美国贸易政策可能转变的讨论愈演愈烈，其中最受争议的提案是特朗普计划对进口产品征收全面关税，重点是来自中国的商品，这些措施预计将加剧两国之间本已紧张的贸易关系，而这些政策的细节仍不清楚，近年来，美中贸易大幅下滑，已经给依赖中国市场的美国企业带来了相当大的挑战，中国有意减少从美国的进口，作为其更广泛努力的一部分，以多元化其供应商基础，减少对美国商品的依赖，这一战略在过去三年中对美国关键行业产生了显着影响，两国之间的贸易量在最近的举措中大幅下降，中国还停止从美国供应商购买废铜，这段视频重点介绍了受此影响的四个主要行业在详细探讨这些行业之前，有必要回顾中美关系的历史轨迹。

美国和中国的关系跨越了两个多世纪，其特点是合作、竞争和冲突交替进行。本概述概述了两国地缘政治和经济互动的关键发展。1784 年 2 月 22 日，美国开始与中国进行直接贸易，当时商船“中国皇后号”从纽约港出发，标志着美国进入利润丰厚的对华贸易。这艘船也被称为“中国皇后号”，是一艘三桅方形帆船，重 360 吨，最初建于 1783 年，作为私掠船使用。《巴黎条约》正式结束美国独立战争后，这艘船被改装用于商业目的。“中国皇后号”载有各种各样的货物，包括 30 吨金枪鱼，在中国因其价值而受到高度重视。药用特性 船长约翰·格林曾是美国海军军官，商业代理人或超级卡罗塞缪尔·肖和托马斯·兰德尔曾是美国大陆军的军官 船主集团包括新国家的一些最富有的人，例如罗伯特·莫里斯 这艘船于 1784 年 8 月抵达广州，现在的广州，货物在那里被换成中国商品，如茶叶、丝绸和瓷器 中国皇后号于 1785 年 5 月 11 日经过 14 个月零 24 天的航行返回纽约 这次旅程的成功鼓励了其他美国商人与中国进行贸易，从而导致了被称为旧中国贸易的时代 在整个 19 世纪，美国扩大了其在中国的商业存在 然而，在此期间出现了紧张局势，特别是在鸦片战争期间 1839 年至1860 年，尽管美国没有在军事上参与这些冲突，但它从这些冲突的结果中受益匪浅。1844 年，中美签署了《万吉条约》，这是美国和中国之间第一份正式协议。该条约赋予美国最惠国地位，确保其与其他西方国家享有平等特权。它还提供了治外法权，允许在华美国公民根据美国法律而不是中国司法权接受审判。《万吉条约》为美国在中国的经济利益和传教活动开辟了新的机会。它允许美国人进入中国五个港口进行贸易，并允许美国人购买土地、建立教堂和医院。该条约还取消了以前阻止外国人学习中文的限制。在第二次世界大战期间，促进了更多的文化和商业交流。美国通过军事援助、财政支持和外交等方式大大增强了中国抗日侵略的能力。人员部署，特别是飞虎队，这个团体正式被称为第一个美国志愿团体，中国空军的 AVG 成立于 1941 年，由克莱尔·沙诺领导，她是一名退役的美国陆军空军上尉，由从美国各军种招募的飞行员组成，AVG 的任务是保卫中国和缅甸，现在的缅甸，抵抗日本军队，他们独特的鲨鱼脸柯蒂斯 P40 战鹰飞机成为他们勇敢任务的象征，飞虎队于 1941 年 12 月 20 日取得了第一次战斗胜利，击落了 10 架袭击昆明的日本轰炸机中的 9 架，这大大提升了美国和中国军队的士气，1945 年日本投降后，国民党全唐国民党和中国共产党之间的中国内战重新开始，尽管美国支持国民党，包括军事援助和咨询援助，但中国共产党由1949 年 10 月 1 日，毛泽东占据上风，宣布在大陆成立中华民国，而蒋介石领导的国民党则撤退台湾继续宣称自己是中华民国 随后的几年里，美国在冷战和遏制共产主义战略的大背景下努力应对其对华政策 最初，美国在外交上正式承认台湾的中华民国是全中国的合法政府，拒绝承认中华人民共和国 这一立场受到地缘政治考虑和支持非共产主义政权的愿望的影响 美国向台湾提供经济和军事援助，加强其对潜在中华人民共和国侵略的立场 这一政策一直持续到 20 世纪 70 年代，当时国际关系的变化最终导致美国与台湾关系正常化 冷战时期从 1949 年到 1971 年 在冷战初期，美国实施了孤立共产主义国家的政策，包括中华人民共和国 这一战略涉及全面的贸易禁运，限制向中国出口战略物资和技术，旨在扩大其经济和政治影响力，美国一直保持单方面禁运，直到 1969 年尼克松政府解除了对中国大部分贸易的限制，但战略重要商品除外。1950 年至 1953 年朝鲜战争期间，中美两国分别支持冲突中的对立双方，导致两国之间的紧张局势升级。这场直接的军事对抗加深了敌对情绪，巩固了两国之间的分歧。在整个 20 世纪 50 年代和 60 年代，贸易限制仍然存在。然而，到了 20 世纪 70 年代初，地缘政治的变化促使美国采取代顿政策，从而改善了两国关系。1971 年 4 月，美国解除了自朝鲜战争开始以来对中国的贸易禁运。这一政策转变最终导致理查德·尼克松总统对中国进行了历史性的访问。 1972 年访问中国，标志着两国外交关系正常化的重要一步。 1971 年至 1979 年的外交关系正常化 20 世纪 70 年代，中美关系发生了重大转变，始于 1972 年 2 月理查德·尼克松总统对中华民国的开创性访问。这是美国现任总统首次访问中华人民共和国。在两国关系数十年的疏远之后，此次访问开启了双边关系的解冻。访问期间，尼克松总统会见了毛泽东主席和李克强总理，进行了讨论，并最终于 1972 年 2 月 27 日发表了上海联合声明。这份联合声明概述了未来合作的框架，承认了双方存在的分歧，特别是在台湾问题上，同时表达了共同努力实现关系正常化的愿望。12 月 15 日，双方关系取得了重大进展。 1978 年，吉米·卡特总统宣布，美国将于 1979 年 1 月 1 日正式承认中华民国。这一决定意味着切断与中华民国台湾的官方外交关系，承认北京政府是中国的唯一合法政府。然而，为了保持与台湾的实质性关系，美国国会于 1979 年 4 月 10 日颁布了《台湾关系法》。《台湾关系法》建立了非官方关系的法律框架，促进了持续的经济和文化交流，并授权向台湾提供防御性武器。该法案旨在维护西太平洋的和平、安全与稳定，反映了美国对台湾安全的承诺，尽管没有正式的外交关系。这些 1970 年代的外交演习为美国和中国之间复杂而多方面的关系奠定了基础，这种关系至今仍在平衡双方的合作与竞争。各个领域让我们稍作停顿，如果你到目前为止喜欢这个视频，我们可以请你帮个小忙吗点击“赞”按钮可以帮助我们接触更广泛的受众，并在评论中分享你的想法或反馈会产生更大的影响，谢谢你的收看现在让我们回顾一下 1980 年代到 2000 年代的经济参与，20 世纪 70 年代末，在邓小平的领导下，中国发起了一系列以市场为导向的改革，改变了其经济，这些改革包括农业的非集体化、国家对外开放和国有企业的私有化，第一阶段在 20 世纪 70 年代末和 80 年代初，涉及农业的非集体化、国家对外开放和允许企业家创业，第二阶段在 20 世纪 80 年代末和20 世纪 90 年代，中国对许多国有企业进行了私有化和承包，这些改革为外国投资创造了重大机遇，美国企业迅速利用了中国庞大的劳动力和新兴的消费市场，导致双边贸易激增。与美国公司开展贸易 在中国建立制造业务，以利用较低的生产成本并进入不断增长的中国市场 2001 年，中国加入世界贸易组织，这是中美经济关系的关键时刻。加入世界贸易组织要求中国实施重大贸易自由化措施，包括降低关税、消除贸易壁垒和向外国竞争开放各个行业，因此，两国之间的贸易迅速扩大，到 2019 年，美国和中国的货物贸易额从 1999 年的不到 1000 亿美元增加到 5580 亿美元。中国加入世贸组织也对其国内经济产生了深远的影响，它加速了中国融入全球经济的步伐，带来了前所未有的经济增长，并使数亿人摆脱了贫困，但也带来了挑战，包括国内产业竞争加剧，需要进行重大的法律和监管改革以遵守世贸组织规则战略竞争 2020 年代到 2010 年代，由于对中国贸易行为的担忧，中美关系变得越来越紧张，特别是对知识产权盗窃和强制技术转让的指控，美国指责中国强迫在其境内运营的美国公司与当地合作伙伴分享专有技术，作为市场准入的先决条件，这些做法被视为破坏了公平竞争并损害了美国企业的利益，作为回应，特朗普政府于 2018 年发起了一场贸易战，对价值约 2500 亿美元的中国进口产品征收关税，中国以针对美国商品的关税进行报复，导致全球供应链中断，增加两国企业和消费者的成本，为了解决这些问题，两国于 2020 年 1 月 15 日签署了第一阶段贸易协议，该协议要求中国在以下领域实施结构性改革：如在财产保护和技术转让方面，此外，中国承诺在两年内增加对美国商品和服务的购买量 2000 亿美元，尽管做出了这些承诺，但该协议仍留下了一些尚未解决的关键问题，包括中国的产业政策、国有企业的作用和网络安全问题，此外，中国的实际购买量未达到协议中设定的目标，部分原因是 covid-19 大流行对经济的影响。 2021 年中美贸易趋势 2024 年中美贸易关系近年来经历了显着波动。 2023 年美国对华出口额约为 478.1 亿美元，反映了受持续争端和中国努力实现进口来源多元化影响的复杂贸易环境。 2024 年的初步数据显示，农业技术和能源等关键领域的贸易继续下降，例如 10 月份美国对华原油出口2024 年从今年早些时候的 4 年低点反弹至约 130,000 桶/天，但这一数字仍远低于 2023 年 259,000 桶/天的平均水平，突显出中国燃料需求疲软以及来自农业领域其他供应商的竞争加剧 美国出口在 2023 年也面临挑战 中国进口了价值 340.5 亿美元的美国农产品，比上年下降了 20%，这一下降归因于中国进口来源的战略多元化以及贸易紧张局势的持续影响 现在让我们来谈谈受贸易下滑影响的关键行业 农产品 中国已大幅减少对美国农产品进口的依赖，尤其是大豆和玉米，转而转向巴西等替代供应商 2024 年前两个月中国从巴西进口的大豆同比激增 21%，达到 696 万公吨，而从美国的进口量从去年同期的 971 万吨下降至 496 万吨。同样，巴西已成为中国最大的玉米供应国，进一步减少了美国在该市场的份额。在贸易紧张局势升级和美国出口管制的背景下，中国加大了在 2023 年支持国内半导体产业的力度。今年前 9 个月，中国半导体进口量同比下降 14.6%，总计 35590 亿单位，低于 2022 年同期的 467 亿单位。这一减少反映了中国致力于实现技术自给自足，减少对美国半导体进口金属的依赖。随着贸易商停止进口，预计中国废铜进口量将大幅下降。在贸易紧张局势不断升级的情况下，美国是其主要供应商，在唐纳德·特朗普总统的领导下，美国威胁要对中国进口产品征收 60% 的关税，并额外征收 10% 的关税，近期宣布的措施引发了人们对北京在今年前 10 个月可能采取报复措施的担忧 中国进口报告数据，并可能导致铜价波动，以应对预期的短缺 北京已允许从 11 月 15 日起进口更多再生铜，旨在促进回收并减少对主要原材料的依赖 这项政策调整凸显了中国为减轻贸易紧张局势对其工业供应链的影响所做的努力 更广泛的背景包括特朗普总统提名斯科特·贝森特为财政部长和詹姆森·格里尔为美国贸易代表，预计他们两人都将支持政府的激进关税政策 这些事态发展加剧了市场不确定性，影响大宗商品市场和全球贸易动态 中国暂停进口美国废铜，贸易紧张局势升级，对美国经济产生重大影响 废铜历来是美国的主要出口产品，中国是其最大买家 对华出口下降减少了美国废料加工商和出口商的收入，近期贸易占总市场的近 20%，这一下降可能导致数百万美元的收入损失 美国回收公司面临需求减少，导致库存积压和小型企业可能倒闭，无法找到替代市场 严重依赖出口的地区失业也是一个问题 能源 中国已实现液化天然气进口多元化，越来越多地从澳大利亚、卡塔尔和俄罗斯等国家采购，从而减少了对美国能源出口的依赖 2024 年前 10 个月 中国从美国进口的液化天然气比 2023 年同期增加了 63%，使美国成为中国第五大液化天然气供应国 然而，中国与其他主要液化天然气生产商的长期合同和战略伙伴关系表明，中国有意采取措施确保从不同来源获得能源供应，减少因过度依赖任何一个国家而可能产生的脆弱性。这些战略转变凸显了中国为减轻地缘政治紧张局势和贸易争端相关风险所做的努力，旨在通过在关键行业实现进口多元化来增强经济韧性。结论美国针对中国的关税政策对美国经济的损害大于对中国的影响，因为美国对中国进口产品征收了更高的关税，导致国内消费者和企业的成本增加，供应链中断，商品价格上涨。这些挑战削弱了美国工业的竞争力，特别是制造业，面临着更高的投入成本、失业和投资减少。中国通过实现进口来源多元化和扩大与其他国家的贸易关系，战略性地减少了美国商品的进口，对农业等行业产生了重大影响。中国减轻了对美国产品的依赖，缓解了其经济受到关税的影响，而依赖中国需求的美国出口商，如大豆和玉米生产商，则处于弱势，突显了贸易战不均衡的负担，而不是振兴美国工业或减少贸易逆差，关税将进口转移到其他国家，而没有促进国内生产，这一政策暴露了美国经济在相互关联的全球贸易体系中的脆弱性，强调保护主义措施往往会带来意想不到的后果，超过其预期的好处，中美关系持续紧张，凸显了制定更平衡和合作的贸易战略的必要性，这就是这段视频的全部内容，

following Donald Trump's reelection as

US president discussions have

intensified around potential shifts in

American trade policies among the most

debated proposals is Trump's plan to

impose sweeping tariffs on Imports with

a strong focus on goods from China such

measures are anticipated to exacerbate

already strained trade relations between

the two Nations while the details of

these policies remain unclear a

significant decline in us China trade

over recent years has already posed

considerable challenges for American

businesses reliant on the Chinese market

China has deliberately reduced its

imports from the United States as part

of a broader effort to diversify its

supplier base and decrease dependency on

American Goods this strategy has had a

pronounced impact on key us Industries

over the past three years trade volumes

between the two countries have dropped

significantly in a very recent move

China has also stopped buying copper

scrap from the US supplier this video

highlights four major sect particularly

affected by the reduction in China's

imports from the United States before

exploring these industries in detail it

is crucial to review the historical

trajectory of us China

relations the relationship between the

United States and China spans more than

two centuries characterized by

alternating periods of collaboration

competition and conflict this overview

outlines key developments in their

geopolitical and economic interactions

the United States in initiated direct

trade with China on February 22nd 1784

when the merchant ship Empress of China

departed from New York Harbor marking

the nation's entry into the lucrative

China trade The Vessel also known as the

Chinese queen was a three-masted square

rigged ship of 360 tons initially built

in 1783 for service as a privateer after

the Treaty of Paris formally ended the

American Revolutionary War the ship was

refitted for commercial purposes the

empress of China carried a diverse cargo

including 30 tons of jinang which was

highly valued in China for its medicinal

properties the ship's Captain John Green

was a former US Naval officer and the

business agents or super caros Samuel

Shaw and Thomas Randall were former

officers in the US continental army The

Syndicate of owners included some of the

wealthiest men in the new nation such as

Robert Morris the ship arrived in Canton

modernday Guang Joo in August 17 884

where the cargo was exchanged for

Chinese Goods like tea silk and Porcelain the Empress of China returned to New York on May 11th 1785 after a voyage of 14 months and 24

days the success of this journey

encouraged other American Merchants to

pursue trade with China leading to the

era known as the old China trade

throughout the 19th century the US

expanded its commercial presence in

China however tensions arose during this

period notably during the Opium Wars

1839 to 1860 although the United States

did not militarily participate in these

conflicts it benefited from their

outcomes in 1844 the Treaty of wangia

was signed representing the first formal

agreement between the US and China this

treaty granted the US most favored

nation status ensuring equal privileges

with other Western Nations it also

provided extr territorial rights

allowing US citizens in China to be

tried under American American laws

rather than Chinese jurisdiction the

Treaty of wangia opened new

opportunities for American economic

interests and missionary activities in

China granting access to five Chinese

ports for trade and enabling Americans

to buy land and establish churches and

hospitals the treaty also removed

restrictions that previously prevented

foreigners from learning the Chinese

language fostering greater cultural and

Commercial exchanges during World War II the United

States significantly bolstered China's

resistance against Japanese aggression

through military aid financial support

and the deployment of personnel notably

the Flying Tigers this group officially

known as the first American volunteer

group AVG of the Chinese Air Force was

formed in 1941 under the leadership of

Clare l shano a retired US Army aircore

Captain comprising Pilots recruited from

the US military branches the AVG was

tasked with defending China and Burma

now Myanmar against Japanese forces

their distinctive sharkface Curtis P40

Warhawk aircraft became emblematic of

their daring missions the Flying Tigers

achieved their first combat Victory on

December 20th 1941 Downing nine out of

10 Japanese bombers attacking Kunming

marking a significant morale boost for

both American and Chinese forces

following Japan's surrender in 1945 the

Chinese civil war between the Nationalist Quan tang kmt and the Communist Party of China CPC resumed

despite us support for the kmt including

military aid and advisory assistance the

CPC led by Mao zong gained the upper

hand by October 1st 1949 Mao proclaimed

the establishment of the People's

Republic of China PRC on the mainland

while the kmt under Chang Kai Sheek

retreate d to Taiwan continuing to assert

itself as the Republic of China Roc in

the ensuing years the United States

grappled with its China policy amid the

broader context of the Cold War and the

strategy of containing communism

initially the US maintained formal

diplomatic recognition of The Roc in

Taiwan as the legitimate government of

all China refusing to acknowledge the

PRC this stance was influenced by

geopolitical considerations and the

desire to support non-communist regimes

the US provided economic and Military

assistance to Taiwan reinforcing its

position against potential PRC

aggression

this policy persisted until the 1970s

when shifts in international relations

led to the eventual normalization of

uspc

relations Cold War period from 1949 to

1971 in the early stages of the Cold War

the United States implemented policies

to isolate communist Nations including

the People's Republic of China this

strategy involved comprehensive trade

embargos that restricted the export of

strategic materials and Technology to

China aiming to its economic and

political influence the United States

maintained a unilateral embargo until

1969 when the Nixon Administration

lifted restrictions on most trade to

China except for strategically important

goods tensions between the United States

and China escalated during the Korean

war from 1950 to 1953 as both Nations

supported opposing sides in the conflict

this direct military confrontation

deepened hostilities and solidified

divisions between the two countries

throughout the 1950s and 60s trade

restrictions remained in place however

by the early 1970s geopolitical shifts

prompted the United States to pursue a

policy of daytont leading to improved

relations in April 1971 the United

States lifted its trade embargo with

China which had been in place since the

start of the Korean War this policy

shift culminated in president Richard

Nixon's historic visit to China in 1972

marking a significant step toward

normalizing diplomatic relations between

the two

Nations Repro Mon and normalization from

1971 to

1979 the 1970s marked a pivotal shift in

United States China relations beginning

with President Richard Nixon's

groundbreaking visit to the People's

Republic of China in February

1972 this visit the first by a sitting

United States president to the PRC

initiated a thaw in bilateral relations

after Decades of estrangement during the

the visit President Nixon met with

Chairman Mao zidong and Premier Joe en

Li engaging in discussions that

culminated in the issuance of the

Shanghai communic on February 27th

1972 this joint statement outlined a

framework for future cooperation

acknowledging existing differences

particularly concerning Taiwan while

expressing a mutual desire to work

toward normalization of relations a

significant development occurred on

December 15th 1978 when President Jimmy

Carter announced that the United States

would formally recognize the PRC

effective January 1st

1979 this decision entailed severing

official diplomatic ties with the

Republic of China Taiwan and

acknowledging the government in Beijing

as the sole legal government of China

however to maintain substantive

relations with Taiwan the United States

Congress enacted the Taiwan relations

act on April 10th

1979 the TR established a legal

framework for unofficial relations

facilitating continued economic and

cultural exchanges and authorizing the

provision of defensive arms to Taiwan

this act aimed to preserve peace

security and stability in the Western

Pacific reflecting the United States

commitment to Taiwan security despite

the absence of formal diplomatic ties

these diplomatic Maneuvers in the 1970s

laid the groundwork for the complex and

multifaceted relationship between the

United States and China that persists

today balancing cooperation and

competition across various

domains let's take a quick pause if

thank you for watching now let's dive

back

in economic engagement from the 1980s to

the 2000s in the late 1970s under the

leadership of dung Xiao ping China in

initiated a series of Market oriented

reforms that transformed its economy

these reforms included the

decollectivization of Agriculture the

opening of the country to foreign

investment and the privatization of

state-owned Enterprises the first stage

in the late 1970s and early 1980s

involved the decollectivization of

Agriculture the opening up of the

country to foreign investment and

permission for entrepreneurs to start

businesses the second stage in the late

1980s and 1990s involved the

privatization and Contracting out of

much state-owned industry these reforms

created significant opportunities for

foreign investment and American

businesses were quick to capitalize on

China's vast labor force and emerging

consumer Market this led to a surge in

bilateral trade with United States companies establishing manufacturing operations in China to take advantage of

lower production costs and to access the

growing Chinese market a pivotal moment

in United States China economic

relations occurred in 2001 when China

joined the World Trade Organization this

accession required China to implement

significant trade liberalization

measures including reducing tariffs

eliminating trade barriers and opening

various sectors to foreign competition

as a result trade between the two

Nations expanded rapidly by

2019 trade in goods between the United

States and China had increased from less

than $100 billion in 1999 to $558

billion

China's accession to the WTO also had a

profound impact on its domestic economy

it accelerated China's integration into

the global economy leading to

unprecedented economic growth and

lifting hundreds of millions of people

out of poverty however it also presented

challenges including increased

competition for domestic Industries and

the need for significant legal and

Regulatory reforms to comply with WTO

rules strategic competition 20 0 S

2020s by the 2010s US China relations

became increasingly strained due to

concerns over China's Trade Practices

particularly allegations of intellectual

property theft and enforced technology

transfers the US accused China of

compelling American companies operating

within its borders to share proprietary

Technologies with local Partners as a

prerequisite for Market access these

practices were perceived as undermining

Fair competition and disadvantaging us

businesses in response the Trump

Administration initiated a trade war in

2018 imposing tariffs on approximately

$250 billion worth of Chinese Imports

China retaliated with tariffs targeting

us Goods leading to disruptions in

Global Supply chains and increased costs

for businesses and consumers in both

Nations to address these issues the two

countries signed the phase 1 trade

agreement on January 15 2020 this deal

required China to implement structural

reforms in areas such as in ual property

protection and Technology transfer

additionally China committed to increasing its purchases of us goods and services by 200 billion dollars over two

years despite these commitments the

agreement left several critical issues

unresolved including China's industrial

policies the role of state-owned Enterprises and cyber security concerns moreover China's actual purchases fell

short of the target set in the agreement

partly due to the economic impact of the

covid-19 pandemic recent Trends in us China trade 2021

2024 trade relations between the United

States and China have experienced

notable fluctuations in recent years in

2023 US exports to China amounted to

approximately

$47.81 billion reflecting a complex

trade environment influenced by ongoing

disputes and China's efforts to

diversify its import sources preliminary

data for 2024 indicates continued de

lines in key sectors including

agriculture technology and energy for

instance us crude oil exports to China

in October 2024 rebounded to around

130,000 barrels per day from a 4-year

low earlier in the year however this

figure remains significantly below the

2023 average of 259,000 barrels per day

highlighting weak Chinese fuel demand

and increased competition from other

suppliers in the agricultural sector us

export have also faced challenges in

2023 China imported

$34.05 billion worth of us agricultural

products marking a 20% decrease from the

previous year this decline is attributed

to China's strategic diversification of

its import sources and the lingering

effects of trade

tensions let's now talk about the key

sectors affected by declining trade

agricultural products China has

substantially reduced its dependence on

us agricultural Imports notably soybeans

and corn by turning to Alternative

suppliers such as Brazil in the first

two months of 2024 China's soybean

imports from Brazil surged 21% year

on-year reaching 6.96 million metric

tons while imports from the US decreased

to 4.96 million tons from 9.71 million

tons in the same period the previous

year similarly Brazil has become China's

leading corn supplier for further

diminishing the US share in this

market technology and electronics amid

escalating trade tensions and US export

controls China has intensified efforts

to bolster its domestic semiconductor

industry in 2023 China's semiconductor

Imports declined by

14.6% year- on-year in the first 9

months totaling

3559 billion units down from

46.7 billion in the same period in 202 2

this reduction reflects China's

commitment to achieving technological

self-sufficiency and reducing Reliance

on us semiconductor

Imports Metals China's Imports of scrap

copper are anticipated to decline

significantly as Traders halt purchases

from the United States its primary

supplier amid escalating trade tensions

under President Donald Trump's

Administration the US has threatened to

impose a 60% tariff on Chinese Imports

with an additional 10% tariff.  announced recently prompting concerns over

potential retaliatory measures from Beijing in the first 10 months of the year China imported report data and could contribute to copper price volatility in response to

the anticipated shortfall Beijing has

allowed more recycled copper Imports

starting November 15th aiming to promote

Recycling and reduce dependence on

primary raw materials this policy

adjustment underscores China's efforts

to mitigate the impact of trade tensions

on its Industrial Supply chains the

broader context includes president

Trump's nomination of Scott bessent as

treasury secretary and Jameson Greer as

us trade representative both both of

whom are expected to support the

administration's aggressive tariff

policies these developments have

heightened Market uncertainty

influencing commodity markets and global

trade Dynamics the suspension of us

scrap copper Imports by China driven by

escalating trade tensions carries

significant implications for the US

economy scrap copper has historically

been a major export for the US with

China as its largest buyer a decline in

exports to China reduces revenue for

American Scrap processors and exporters

with recent trade accounting for nearly

20% of the total Market this drop could

result in millions of dollars in Lost

income us recycling firms face reduced

demand leading to inventory buildups and

potential closures of smaller businesses

unable to find alternative markets job

losses in regions heavily reliant on

exports are also a

concern energy China has Diversified its

liquefied natural gas Imports

increasingly sourcing from countries

like Australia Qatar and Russia thereby

decreasing its dependence on US Energy

exports in the first 10 months of 2024

China imported 63% more LNG from the US

compared to the same period in 2023

positioning the us as China's fifth

largest LNG supplier however China's

long-term contracts and strategic

Partnerships with other major LNG

producers indicate a deliberate move to

secure energy supplies from diverse

sources reducing potential

vulnerabilities associated with

overreliance on any single country these

strategic shifts underscore China's

efforts to mitigate risks associated

with geopolitical tensions and trade

disputes aiming to enhance economic

resilience by diversifying its import

portfolio across critical

sectors conclusion the US tariff

policies targeting China have

inadvertently harmed the American

economy more than they have impacted

China by imposing higher tariffs on

Chinese Imports the US has triggered

increased costs for domestic consumers

and businesses disrupting Supply chains

and raising prices for goods these

challenges have undermined the

competitiveness of American Industries

particularly manufacturing which has

faced higher input costs job losses and

reduced investment in response China has

strategically reduced Imports of us

Goods significantly impacting sectors

like agriculture by diversifying its

import sources and expanding trade

relationships with other nations China

has mitigated its Reliance on us

products cushioning its economy against

the tariffs meanwhile us exporters

reliant on Chinese demand such as

soybean and corn producers have been

left vulnerable highlighting the uneven

burden of the trade War rather than

revitalizing us Industries or reducing

the trade deficit the tariffs have

shifted Imports to other countries

without boosting domestic production

this policy has exposed the

vulnerabilities of the US economy in an

interconnected global trade system

emphasizing that protectionist measures
