The US-China Tariff War! How Do Small Businesses Survive in the Cracks?! · Si Yang, Esq.

The tariff trade war between the United States and China is raging, with both sides raising the bar and retaliating. Amidst this "battle," how ordinary business people can protect themselves is a serious problem.

Some commentators have said, "When tariffs exceed 100%, they have already deviated from the essence of trade and entered a stage of 'irrational competition.'" Indeed, when taxes are too high, no trader is willing to do business.

As of April 23, 2025, US President Mr. Trump made a statement that softened his stance on the previously stringent tariffs, stating that he did not rule out the possibility of a "significant reduction".

In such an unstable situation, what should retailers and multinational corporations pay special attention to when signing commercial contracts? What strategies can they use to cope with the economic friction caused by tariff fluctuations? Are there any separate commercial terms to protect the interests of traders during this special period?
