If President-elect Donald Trump is serious about hitting all Chinese goods with tariffs of 60 percent or higher, experts warn it could lead to all-out economic warfare that would be particularly damaging to two key swing states that Trump flipped in 2024.

The Chinese economy is more dependent on exports, making tariffs more potent, yet it’s less reliant on American markets and increasingly bent on self-sufficiency.

In South American copper giant Peru, the incoming Donald Trump White House will find itself already on the losing side in a trade battle with China, part of a bigger power realignment around the resource-rich region in Washington's backyard.

The containment policy set in the first Trump administration and continued under President Biden will get a harder edge, former officials say.

If Trump's proposed 60% tariff against China is enacted and the country responds aggressively, it could pressure some of America's largest companies.

Weaker domestic demand means China has been relying more on exports to boost economic growth.

China is ready to go head-to-head with President-elect Donald Trump’s tariffs as he prepares to take back the Oval. If Trump pushes for tariffs as high as 60% on Chinese goods, Beijing isn’t about to sit back.
