Odd Lots: How Chinese Firms Are Reacting to US Tariffs (Podcast)
BloombergMonday, July 28, 2025 at 8:00:00 AM
The podcast episode dives into how Chinese companies are navigating the wave of U.S. tariffs, which were rolled out under President Trump with a clear focus on countering China's economic rise. While the U.S. strategy seems aimed at isolating China, the reality is more complicated—China is actually strengthening trade ties elsewhere, especially in Asia. The discussion with Cameron Johnson, a business expert, sheds light on how Chinese firms are adapting and even finding new opportunities despite the trade tensions.
Editor’s Note: Trade wars aren’t just about tariffs—they reshape global alliances. China’s pivot to deepen partnerships in Asia shows how economic pressure can backfire, pushing the targeted country to diversify rather than retreat. For businesses and policymakers, this signals that isolation tactics might not work as intended, and the global trade map could end up looking very different than planned.
