Xi Jinping Begins Anti-U.S. Trade Blitz as Trump Escalates Tariff War | India Today Global

Описание: Chinese President Xi Jinping has embarked on a critical state visit to Vietnam, Cambodia, and Malaysia in an effort to bolster regional alliances as tensions with the United States over trade reach a boiling point. Xi's visit to Vietnam marks the beginning of a broader diplomatic push to gather support against the United States, following President Donald Trump's stunning decision to impose 145% tariffs on Chinese goods. China retaliated swiftly, slapping 125% tariffs on U.S. imports.

Xi’s upcoming visits to Cambodia—his first in nine years—and Malaysia—after 12 years—highlight the urgency with which Beijing is working to consolidate its influence in Asia. The diplomatic maneuver is seen as a direct counter to Washington’s trade aggression.

Meanwhile, Trump briefly defused some of the tension by exempting key tech imports such as smartphones and laptops from the new tariffs. However, he warned these items are now part of a national security review, and future restrictions are likely. This keeps uncertainty alive as the U.S. prepares for elections.

The trade war is also hitting strategic resources. China has weaponized its dominance in rare earth exports—halting six critical mineral supplies vital for U.S. defense, tech, and semiconductor sectors. With a $263 billion U.S. trade deficit with China, this conflict is far from over.
