U.S. President Donald Trump's latest tariff increase — and Beijing's plans to counter them — are hitting U.S. companies in China, according to a joint survey this month by AmCham Shanghai and AmCham China in Beijing.

Nearly three-fourths, or 74.9%, of almost 250 respondents to a survey held from May 16 to May 20 said the increases in American and Chinese tariffs are having a negative impact on their business, according to a report released Wednesday by the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai and the Beijing-based American Chamber of Commerce in China.

Of the survey participants, 61.6% were manufacturing-related, 25.5% were in the services sector, 3.8% were in retail and distribution and 9.6% came from other industries. The U.S. raised tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods to 25% from 10% on May 10. Beijing responded a few days later with duties ranging from 5% to 25% on $60 billion worth of U.S. goods, set to take effect June 1.

U S knew it. Trumpdid it too intentionery. Why because he need kick back from china to take over collapsed soon business in u s. Watch closely. Dumb doesn’t see it.

Trump don’t care 🤷‍♀️👹👺🤡

When they outsource tens of millions American jobs to overseas during last 30 years did media ever say sth for American people?

America needs tariffs! China Cheats!

perhaps we could discuss how easy it is to boost the economy if we ignore the deficit.

Well. Maybe consider being an American business in America.

Naa

China will fall in line one way or another.

That’s the purpose.

It seems Trump isn’t happy with the US being the world’s economic leader, he’s dead set on showing the rest of the world that China and Russia will do a better job in the future.

Do the U.S. companies that do business in China pay U.S. taxes and provide American jobs?

Winning!

Trump doesn’t give a damn and he’ll pay for it in 2020

Make it in America.

Death by paperwork: Tariffs aren’t China’s only trade weaponHere’s how China could cause pain to American businesses without resorting to tariffs.

There has and always will be a bit of give and take among nations, how much did we and other's pilferage China before they awoke and told all outsiders to leave, as i see it, they were just taking back a little what was taken in the first place,..too much truth?.

Wholesale importer: Our family business, like others, pays Trump's tariffs — not ChinaWe are importers of Christmas decorations. The vast majority of the items we import are made in China, with some exceptions. China is the only country that can produce many of the items we buy. Political BS. Long term let’s move away from doing business with communist China Has this importer heard of foreign exchange? The Yuan has devalued 10% since last year. He may want to call his Chinese factories who are making out.
