What does China want?
First, China wants predictability in tariffs. In 2025, the U.S. tariffs turned sharply, peaking at 125%. As a result, China’s exports to the US will decrease by 20% in 2025. Another area China would focus on would be to ease US investment restrictions. Like the Board of Trade, which the US is promoting, China is looking to the Board of Investments to lower barriers to investment by Chinese companies. In addition, China is also pushing for a change in its language regarding the US’s stance on Taiwan.
