Ever wondered who’s really feeling the pinch in the latest tariff showdown? A recent CGTN survey asked 6,572 people from around the world, and the verdict is in: most think the U.S. is taking the bigger hit. 📉
Since the big talks in Madrid last September, Washington rolled out fresh tariffs and even hinted at a 100% duty on goods from the Chinese mainland. Port fees on China-related ships also spiked. Not cool for global free trade, right? 🌍
Here’s what the numbers say:
- 67.7% believe the U.S. will lose more
- 8.9% think the Chinese mainland will suffer more
- 23.4% expect both sides to get hurt
On top of that, 92.5% of respondents slammed the U.S. approach as insincere – calling for talks while slinging new restrictions. Meanwhile, 94.4% condemned the trend of stretching “national security” to block exports and upset supply chains. 🚫⚙️
But it’s not all doom and gloom! Most agree that the U.S. and the Chinese mainland share big common interests. Here’s the outlook:
- 88.4% want dialogue based on respect and equality ✌️
- 87% see their economic ties as mutually beneficial 🤝
- 84.4% say stronger cooperation stabilizes global supply chains 🔗
Bottom line? Talk it out, not tear it down. This survey highlights how cooperation could be the real win-win for everyone—and keep our world connected. 🌐💪
