How Trump’s tariffs are hitting China?

China’s economy is already struggling without the impact of Donald Trump’s tariffs.

Growth has slowed dramatically in recent years, there is very high youth unemployment and a lot of low paid migrant workers.

Sky’s Helen-Ann Smith visited a factory in China, which has arguably been the biggest target of Trump’s tariffs.

  1. I thought this report will show the numbers in terms of money lost or gained due to the tariff. Just gibberish and anti-China propaganda, nothing else.

  2. Need to get your facts correct, Foreign Trade now accounts for 17% of Chinas economy, and the U.S. is now its 3 rd largest trading partner, total trade with US accounts for 2.5% of Chinas total economy !!! While large it’s not life threatening and the U.S. actually depend n China as there is no other country with the manufacturing and logistically capacity to replace China !!!

  3. Chinese have been resilient for the past few 1000 yrs. How resilient is the west. Can they live without toilet papers for a day? Where do they find nail clipper to trim their claws? Etc etc

  4. I though xi is the totalitarian government and I always said if China has a good leader it will rise. I was right. If the they get a bad leader then it’s the end. Never thought it’s happening here, the president can do whatever he wants. 😅

  5. Only 16-19% of China exports go to the US.
    150 countries around the world have China as their largest trading partners. Most countries will look to diversifying their exports in this increasingly protectionist world.

  6. China is worried about companies moving to India because low cost labor, cheaper, faster, and speed. India has more people than China. China is fighting to keep job open without company shut downs. How fast is India iPhone manufacturing? pretty fast…. India could built EV car faster than China. Cheaper than China's car. America is bring more factories jobs here. due to low cost TAXES and traiffs.

  7. The back alley "factory" and the button lady are having a tough time. Guess it's all over for China. Pack it up BYD, SMIC, AVIC, Tencent, Alibaba, and every other giant corporation. It's all over, a whole of checks notes 2% of China's GDP is now being tariffed.

  8. Tariffs no longer intimidate China—it has markets beyond the U.S.
    Wuzhou, Guangxi Province, is set to build on Shenzhen's success, with plans ready to take effect.

  9. sure. Let them sell in central asia, russia or southeast asia. They have to bargain with distributors from Asia or Africa. They must accept lower profitbb

  10. Diversify, it's a mattering of surviving and thriving or crumbling for every country that relied too much on US trade. The silver lining is Trump is doing this to pretty much every county so everyone is looking for new or improved partnerships. Even if countries caved to the demands of Trump today, what's to say he won't change his mind tomorrow and extort something else.
