米べい 対たい中国ちゅうごくへの関税かんぜい率りつ 計けい145％に 中国ちゅうごく反発はんぱつ 世界せかい経済けいざい打撃だげきに懸念けねん

The Trump administration in the United States is taking a clear hardline stance by suspending reciprocal tariffs measures for 90 days against countries with large trade deficits, while imposing a combined 145% tariff measure on China.

China is intensifying its opposition, and there are growing concerns that the escalation of trade friction could seriously impact the global economy.

On the 9th, the Trump administration implemented a reciprocal tariff measure targeting countries and regions with large trade deficits, but later announced that it would suspend the measure for 90 days for countries that have requested consultations without taking retaliatory actions.

In the meantime, the tariff rate imposed on each country will be reduced to 10%, and individual negotiations will proceed, but if an agreement cannot be reached, it will revert to the initially set tariff rate.

On the other hand, regarding China, President Trump on the 9th clearly demonstrated a strong stance by posting on social media that he would raise tariffs on China to 125% in response to Chinas retaliatory measures against mutual tariffs.

Regarding this, on the 10th, the White House published a presidential order document explaining that the tariff rate on imports from China will be 145%, which includes an additional tariff of 125% plus another additional tariff of 20% imposed until March.

President Trump told reporters, China has been taking advantage of us for years, and added, I hope negotiations with China go well.

I think it will ultimately be very good for both countries, he said.

In response to Americas stance, China, which is intensifying its opposition, implemented a measure to impose an additional 84% tariff on imports from America shortly after 1 PM Japan time on the 10th, and shows no signs of backing down from a full-scale confrontation.

Amidst this situation, on the 10th, the Dow Jones Industrial Average on the New York Stock Exchange temporarily fell more than $2,100 compared to the previous day, as concerns are rekindling in the financial markets over the intensifying U.S.-China trade friction.

China plans to reduce the number of films imported from the United States Amid escalating trade tensions between China and the United States, China announced on the 10th its intention to reduce the number of films imported from the United States.

This was revealed by a spokesperson for the National Film Administration, which oversees film screenings in China, who issued a statement.

In this, the spokesperson points out that the wrong actions of the American government in abusing tariffs against China will inevitably lower the Chinese audiences favorability towards American movies.

Furthermore, it indicates the intention to increase the import of films from countries other than the United States, stating that China consistently maintains a high level of openness to the outside world as the worlds second-largest film market, and will incorporate excellent films from more countries around the world to satisfy market needs.

It is seen as a countermeasure against the additional tariffs imposed by the United States.

Additionally, the Chinese Ministry of Culture and Tourism has issued a travel advisory urging Chinese tourists to carefully consider their trips to the United States, citing deteriorating economic and trade relations with America. The impact of U.S.-China tensions is also expanding into cultural and human exchanges.

Governor Moore, a potential next-generation leader of the opposition Democratic Party, criticizes tariff policy. Wes Moore, the governor of Maryland on the East Coast of the United States and considered one of the next-generation leaders of the opposition Democratic Party, responded to an interview with NHK on the 10th before visiting Japan.

Im disappointed with the Trump administrations tariff policy

Tariffs have existed both historically and currently as a geopolitical tool, but they should not be an ideology.

Unfortunately, it is being used exactly as an ideology, he criticized.

Regarding the impact of tariff measures on the economy of Maryland, What we are seeing now is an increase in the prices of everything.

Everyone is paying more money for daily necessities such as electronics, food, and clothing.

Directly affecting people within the state, the same can be said for farmers who have owned farms for over 100 years and dock workers working at the Port of Baltimore, he stated.

Additionally, Governor Moore expressed the view that Japanese companies based in the state, whether its Hitachi or Terumo, are anxious about the uncertain future, stating that they are trying to grasp what their future will hold.

In addition, Governments of each country, like private company managers, seek stability and predictability.

The capricious attitude does not lead to the long-term results one might expect, they said, criticizing the series of responses regarding the Trump administrations tariffs.

Furthermore, the challenges we are currently facing are the same for both parties.

Both Democrats and Republicans understand that a capricious tariff policy does not aid economic stability and growth, it was stated, indicating that the Trump administrations tariff policy is not supported by supporters of either party.
