Does it matter for China who wins the election?

Cargo ships departing from the port of Yantai in China are loaded with cars and containers for export. Economists predict that regardless of who wins the U.S. presidential election in November, trade tensions with China will continue. Both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are expected to maintain a tough stance on China, with Trump proposing high tariffs on Chinese goods and Harris likely following Biden’s tariff policies. The U.S. has expressed concerns about Chinese overcapacity and unfair trade practices, leading to the imposition of tariffs on Chinese imports. Experts believe that ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and China are here to stay, regardless of the election outcome.
