The United States has announced a significant 155% tariff on select Chinese imports, effective from 1st November 2025, as part of its strategy to counter what it calls “unfair trade practices” and protect domestic industries.
The move targets goods across electronics, semiconductors, and electric vehicle components, aiming to reduce U.S. reliance on Chinese supply chains. The U.S. Department of Commerce stated that the measure comes after months of investigations into alleged market manipulation and intellectual property violations by Chinese firms.
China, in response, condemned the decision as a “blatant act of protectionism,” warning that it may retaliate with its own countermeasures. The development is expected to further escalate trade tensions between the two largest economies in the world, potentially impacting global markets and supply chains.
Analysts suggest that while the move could bolster U.S. domestic manufacturing, it may also raise costs for American consumers and industries dependent on Chinese imports, adding fresh uncertainty to the global trade landscape.
