US Report: Dozens of Nations Helped China Evade Trump-Era Tariffs

A new US government report has found that China used dozens of countries as intermediaries to avoid higher American tariffs. The scheme involved routing goods through nations that faced lower US levies, effectively circumventing the intended trade penalties. The report highlights how China adapted its export strategies in response to tariffs imposed during the Trump administration. This finding raises concerns about the effectiveness of tariff-based trade measures and potential complicity of third-party nations.
