Trump's election has had an impact on the global trade environment, which is undoubtedly a major challenge for China's foreign trade enterprises. As a trade protectionist, Trump's policy propositions have a direct impact on Sino-US trade relations, which in turn affects China's foreign trade.
First, Trump advocates higher tariffs and trade protection. He has vowed to impose tariffs of up to 45 percent on Chinese imports if elected, in an effort to protect domestic industries. This policy may lead to a major impact on China's export business to the United States, and Chinese foreign trade enterprises must remain vigilant, pay attention to the dynamics of the US market, and actively explore other markets to reduce risks.
Second, a Trump presidency could lead to an 87 per cent drop in Chinese exports to the US. China and the United States are interdependent economies, and exports are an important pillar of China's economic growth. However, Trump has advocated raising trade barriers and reducing trade flows, which would reduce the share of low-end Chinese exports in the US market. At the same time, some enterprises may return production and jobs to the United States, which will promote China's transformation from an export-oriented economy to a domestic demand-oriented economy, and face a more complicated economic restructuring.
Moreover, the election of Trump will also affect the freight forwarding business of China to the United States. The volume of goods transported between China and the United States is huge, and Chinese goods are highly competitive in the American market. Once Trump implements high tariffs and trade protection policies, Chinese exports will decrease significantly, affecting freight forwarding services such as shipping companies.
In terms of medium and long-term impact, Trump's trade protection policy not only brings adverse effects on the global economy, but also may cause global economic growth to decline and inflation to rise. As the world's largest economy, policy changes in the United States have an impact on the trade surpluses of other countries, especially China and other economies in Asia. The increased risk of a trade war between China and the United States could disrupt global production chains and affect global trade and production.
In terms of economic policy, Trump advocates tax cuts, infrastructure construction and tighter monetary policy. His tax cuts could spur economic growth, but his protectionist approach to trade could destabilize the global trading system. The relationship between China and the United States is one of the most important bilateral relationships in the world. Cooperation between the two sides will lead to win-win results, while conflict will lead to lose-lose situations. Trump's trade propositions against China, such as naming a currency manipulator and imposing high tariffs on Chinese goods, could add to downward pressure on China's economy.
On the possibility of a full-scale trade war, a full-scale trade war between China and the United States is unlikely to break out, but the risk of a partial trade war remains. Trump may raise tariffs or other restrictions on some Chinese goods, which will affect industries such as mechanical and electrical products and exacerbate downward pressure on China's economy. In addition, higher tariffs on Chinese mechanical and electrical products by the United States may also increase depreciation pressure on the yuan, as it will affect China's exports and manufacturing investment, leading to increased capital outflows.
In general, the election of Trump has brought uncertainty to China's foreign trade environment and challenges to Chinese foreign trade enterprises. China needs to pay close attention to the implementation of Trump's policies, adjust its strategy to deal with possible trade frictions, and promote the transformation and upgrading of its economic structure to adapt to the new international environment.
