While removing tariffs will benefit China, the Chinese have made it clear they are thinking ahead. Their focus is shifting from stimulus measures, which they have used in the past to maintain economic growth, to “structural reforms,” both domestic and foreign. This means they will focus more on sustainable long-term initiatives to drive economic maturity over short term measures such as stimulus and tariffs.
While the Chinese are more willing to remove tariffs imposed since mid-2018, the US is still looking to keep tariffs on most Chinese imports. It seems President Trump, who has used tariff threats to forge better deals for the US, will continue to stand strong in the face of the trade war. While the trade war has had minimal impact on the US economy, it has created uncertainty across global economies.
