Sleepy Joe will never politically survive if he lower Trump tariffs on China import but Xi doesn't reciprocal lower at least some tariffs on US import. Trump already calling him 'Beijing Bidden', think he had tough 2 years already? The remaining 2 years would be hell on his admin.

Given the current economic situation in the US, the Biden administration obviously views "being soft on China" is a lesser evil (for reelection's sake) than high inflation. And they can always add other sanctions etc under flimsy excuses to counter the "negative" image. So China needs to be prepared for it.

I myself do not think removing tariff on Chinese imports will make much of a dent on inflation. There are just too many other factors like supply chain disruption and high energy cost etc. But then, I am not an economist. What do I know.

US: China ‘engages in unfair trade practices’ but tariffs serve ‘no strategic purpose’
  • Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said China ‘engages in range of unfair trade practices’ but ‘the tariffs we inherited, some serve no strategic purpose’
  • She said President Biden was reviewing Trump’s tariffs but did not mention specific ones or say when the Biden administration may make a decision


They are whetting Americans' appetite to lower tariffs. "We will counter Putin's price hike by lowering tariffs on China to reduce the suffering on the poor Chinese people"
