\n

President Donald Trump<\/a> announced he will head to Beijing in May with the United States likely still dealing with the economic fallout from his reckless and costly war against Iran. Gas prices are rising, the stock market is tumbling, and American manufacturers, farmers and families are paying more for essential items as Trump continues to impose sweeping tariffs on America\u2019s trading partners. \u00a0<\/p>\n

By contrast, China enjoys stronger economic and strategic advantages than it did before President Trump began his second term. The president\u2019s chaotic tariff policy was ruled unlawful by the Supreme Court and has failed to rebalance America\u2019s economic relationship with China. At the same time, it has seriously weakened the global coalition of American allies and partners needed to confront Beijing\u2019s unfair economic policies.<\/p>\n

Despite Trump\u2019s tariffs, the U.S. global goods trade deficit increased to a record high of $1.23 trillion last year \u2014 more than $105 billion over the average goods deficit under President Joe Biden<\/a>. Meanwhile, China\u2019s trade surplus with the world ballooned, rising to an unprecedented $1.2 trillion in 2025 from $992 billion in 2024.<\/p>\n

Although the bilateral U.S. trade deficit with China shrank, China now simply reroutes many of its goods \u2014 often illegally \u2014 to the United States through third countries, a concerning trend the Trump administration has failed to address.<\/p>\n

TRUMP THREATENS ‘MASSIVE’ CHINA TARIFFS, SEES ‘NO REASON’ TO MEET WITH XI<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The administration\u2019s chaotic policies have harmed American manufacturers, farmers, and port workers \u2014 critical groups for America\u2019s competition with China that President Trump claimed his policies would help. Since he returned to office, U.S. manufacturers<\/a> have shed approximately 100,000 jobs and manufacturing construction has declined by 12%.<\/p>\n

American farmers have lost more than $14 billion in sales to China and paid over $4 billion in higher input costs. Trump\u2019s impulsive trade actions toward China have hit soybean farmers particularly hard: in 2025, China bought a paltry 7.4 tons of U.S. soybeans, down from 26.8 million tons in 2024.<\/p>\n

Momentum to rebuild the U.S. shipbuilding industry, which has drawn support from both political parties and major industrial unions, has also stalled after Trump suspended critical fees on Chinese ships after meeting with Xi<\/a> in South Korea last year.<\/p>\n

WHY TRUMP\u2019S WAR SPEECH FAILED: DECLARING VICTORY BUT STILL BOMBING IRAN BACK TO THE \u2018STONE AGES\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The president has further jeopardized the prospects for workers at U.S. shipyards and ports by attacking the offshore wind industry, which has been forced to cancel ship orders and job contracts after his administration cut hundreds of millions of dollars in government support.<\/p>\n

In short, Trump has done little to level the playing field with China and address its non-market policies that led to an estimated 3.7 million Americans losing good-paying jobs and contributed to nearly 70,000 U.S. factories shuttering between 2001 and 2018. In fact, he has made things worse. Trump\u2019s visit to China<\/a> may prove yet another instance of his art of the squeal \u2014 not art of the deal.<\/p>\n

When he meets with Xi, Trump should start by demanding the Chinese Communist Party agree to rebalance our economic relationship and play by the same rules as we do. This means operating on market-oriented principles, upholding basic human rights and ceasing to distort markets with blanket subsidies, illegal dumping, intellectual property theft and currency manipulation. China\u2019s suppression of labor rights and wages, including the use of forced labor, is particularly devastating for U.S. workers.<\/p>\n

TRUMP SCORES FOUR BIG WINS WITH XI, BUT HAS ONE BIG MISS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Trump must be particularly forceful in demanding these changes to Beijing\u2019s policies in the rare earths sector, where its price manipulation, heavy subsidization and lack of worker and environmental protections have stifled competition, giving the CCP a dangerous monopoly over an industry that underpins U.S. national defense and economic security.<\/p>\n

If China does not support this constructive rebalancing of our relationship, we should be open to reviewing China\u2019s permanent normal trade relations status, which gives China privileged access into the U.S. market.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, we should impose antidumping and countervailing duties<\/a> as well as targeted tariffs in sectors where China\u2019s overcapacity and other unfair practices threaten U.S. interests. Most importantly, we should invest revenue from those tariffs in a new fund for rebuilding domestic manufacturing in critical industries.<\/p>\n

Trump must also clearly communicate to Xi that his escalating threats against Taiwan are unacceptable and that any war would be a disaster. Unfortunately, Trump\u2019s war in Iran, which is costing American taxpayers an estimated $1 billion per day, has forced the Pentagon to pull important capabilities from the Indo-Pacific, weakening effective deterrence. His administration\u2019s decision to delay an important arms sale package to Taiwan<\/a> ahead of his trip and failure to mention Taiwan in its National Defense Strategy likely further embolden Xi.<\/p>\n

Rather than abandoning our partners, Trump should bring America\u2019s allies<\/a> together to counter China\u2019s nonmarket practices, revitalize the industrial bases of America and our allies, and push back against China\u2019s efforts to creep towards hegemony in Asia.<\/p>\n

Any deal President Trump considers with China must put America\u2019s workers, farmers and families first and include a clear commitment to peace and security in the Indo-Pacific. An outcome short of that would make for yet another failed summit with Xi and put America\u2019s economy and our friends in only greater jeopardy.<\/p>\n
