China is trying to offset trade pressures from the U.S. by courting major U.S. businesses at an annual conference this week in Beijing. Despite increased tariffs from the U.S., China has not retaliated forcefully, opting for targeted duties and restrictions on a few American companies instead. The tone at the China Development Forum has been more conciliatory than official rhetoric, focusing more on understanding Trump’s actions rather than responding to tariffs directly.
The conference aimed to reassure attendees about China’s plans to boost consumption and its overall positive direction compared to the U.S. Amidst the threat of new tariffs, anxiety is high among businesses, and China is trying to provide a message of reassurance.
China remains a significant trade partner for many U.S. companies, despite tensions. The meeting between a U.S. senator and the Chinese Premier could be a first step toward a meeting between President Xi and President Trump. Economic factors, such as China’s economic recovery and its focus on high-tech manufacturing, are also important considerations for businesses operating in China. Despite challenges, optimism remains high among attendees at the conference, highlighting the importance of international business ties and economic cooperation between the U.S. and China.
