America’s sweeping tariffs are harmful to both the world economy and to America itself and should be revoked. But a bigger trend is emerging: The relevance of the United States is dwindling when it comes to global trade.

The current deglobalization policy of the Trump administration in the form of tariffs, as well as its disregard for multilateral rules, will only lead to a slowdown in American economic growth. It will undercut the country’s technology advantages and hurt American families.

Values laid out by China and the United States — equality, mutual respect and mutual benefit — will keep trade tensions under control through practical results and stabilize the important trade relationship.

Tariffs and a trade war are definitely going in the wrong direction. Trump and his team should cast aside all illusions that China will capitulate and that the U.S. can survive the tariff war. The only wise choice is to dump the tariffs and come to the table for talks.

Global GDP is likely to shrink again in Q2. Inflation will rise, and real pain will start to set in. Key industries will be disrupted, dragging down production and consumption. The United States may miss its growth target for 2025, and as a new cross-Atlantic trade war looms, growth may slow in the eurozone as well.

China and the U.S. should not entangle themselves in trade imbalances and tariffs but find a new, innovative perspective. The future will be shaped by AI, big data, quantum computing and telecom. Both countries have tremendous common interests.

Republican proposal, along with heavy tariffs promised by Donald Trump and certain retaliation by U.S. trading partners, would drive the global economy into a new Great Depression. Rather than trying to punish China, the U.S. should continue to maintain dialogues and establish practical trade and investment collaboration.

Even amid frictions, empirical data show that trade between China and the United States is an objective economic law, based on complementary economies. Political tensions and other restrictions could distort or delay the growth but will be unable to kill it.

While high officials in the Biden administration — and President Joe Biden himself — have repeatedly proclaimed that America does not seek to decouple from China, the latest move to impose extreme tariffs on certain Chinese goods goes in exactly that direction. It’s a bad idea driven by U.S. election year politics.
