Trump threatened to stop importing large amounts of Chinese goods. Without threatening, China-U.S. trade is now poor. August 2025 data: China-U.S. trade was $428,89 billion, of which China exported $316,04 billion to the U.S. and imported $112,85 billion from the U.S. Basically belonged to the out-of-G state.
Trump has again said that he will stop purchasing a large number of China goods. However, looking at the trade data for August 2025, there is no need to threaten them.
The trade volume between China and the United States that month was only US$42.889 billion, with China exporting US$31.604 billion to the United States and importing US$11.285 billion from the United States. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a quick "decoupling."
Anyone who knows him knows that this is not the first time he has talked about Sino-US trade. In his early years, when he was still president, he launched a "301 investigation" against China when he took office in 2017. In 2018, he directly signed a memorandum to impose tariffs on 60 billion US dollars on Chinese goods, pointing to "Made in China 2025."
He wrote a book "The Art of Negotiation" in which the routine was to build momentum and drive high and low. During the election campaign, he scolded China 235 times and promised voters sanctions.
Now that trade volume has fallen to this level, the root cause has long been buried.
The "America First" report issued by the White House in April 2025 was unusual. It was actually evaluating the cancellation of China's permanent normal trade relations status, which is the foundation of Sino-US trade.
What's even more ruthless is that at the beginning of this year, the United States first restricted capital investment in China's semiconductor and AI fields, and it didn't take long for it to extend the restrictions to industries such as biotechnology and aerospace.
To be honest, the U.S. side has been using "national security" as a pretext to make restrictions, in January 2025, they put on the "unsafe" hat on Chinese networks, did not be allowed to enter the U.S. market, and also conducted the so-called security investigation of drone systems.
The field of semiconductors is more spectral, even the export of equipment containing American elements must be permitted, NVIDIA complains that it has lost the Chinese market, and the American enterprises themselves have lost about 130 billion dollars in market value.
In 2024, the trade volume between China and the United States will still be US $688.28 billion, and it will fall to tens of billions in just one year.
This is no accident. Since the tariff increase was imposed in 2018, the trade between the two sides has been affected step by step. Now, various restrictions have been increased layer by layer, and the trade volume has naturally dropped.
Trump is now shouting a stop-up, more like a traumatic statement, after all, trade has long been pushed further and further by their own policies.
Of course, all the above are personal opinions. If you have any different opinions on this, you can leave a message in the comment section to discuss!!!
