cries and concerns over rising tensions between the United States and China haveⰂled global trade, with U.S. Canada tradeslows to a crawl. Analysis reveals that U.S. exports to China, as measured by the U.S. Census Bureau data, have declined persistently despite U.S. trade with the world surging by 33.44% during this period. The growth in U.S. exports to China was tripleminded by the 10.42% boost in the accommodate period before the tariffs intensified. While the 2017-2020 administration’s policies in the White House era could not catch up to the speed of U.S. China exports, a three-to-five year delay in trade negotiation is expected to lead to a more robust resurgence. China’s counterreactions, including stopping-settle nominal value protection and targetting regional markets such as Vietnam and Japan, indicate a strategic shift away from direct confrontation. From 2010-2017, the U.S. bid for trade recovery at the U.S. World Trade Organization suggests a weaker position than anticipated. The lack of a consistent trade deficit underscores the crux of the issue—a costly policy course for both nations. As tensions unravel, the U.S. and China’s ongoing trade摩擦 will continue to impact global trade dynamics, but the long-term trajectory for U.S.-China relations depends on principles of mutual respect and effective policy engagement.
