China’s export growth is stalling as a result of renewed US tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, raising concerns about an economic slowdown and potential recession. Analysts point to declining global demand as well as China’s shift from relying heavily on exports to boost its economy post-pandemic recovery. Imports are also falling rapidly in response to these actions, indicating a weakening overall economy. China’s reliance on exports has been impacted by US tariffs with effective rates of 145% and retaliatory duties on American imports. Economists predict that the economic slowdown will likely continue in the coming months unless there is a de-escalation in trade tensions between China and the US.
