Analysis shows China weathered the trade tensions of the Trump
administration. The overall average weighted tariff on Chinese imports
remained roughly unchanged. The tariff level is now lower than that
applied to Brazil. It is also lower than the tariff rate imposed on
Canada. The findings suggest China's trade position is relatively
strong. The data counters earlier expectations of steep tariff hikes.
Observers note the stability may benefit Chinese exporters. The
situation will be monitored as trade policies evolve.
