The US may impose a 40% tariff on Chinese imports.

According to the information provided, the United States may increase the tariff on imports from China to 40% at the beginning of next year, after Donald Trump takes office as president.

According to Reuters, such an increase in tariffs could result in a reduction of China's economic growth by 1 percentage point.

Surveys also show that Trump is unlikely to impose an overall tariff of 60% on Chinese goods.

The majority of economists expect tariffs to be implemented at the beginning of the coming year. The average projected rate is 38%, with various forecasts ranging from 15% to 60%.

The majority of respondents do not consider it likely that the overall tariff of 60% on Chinese goods will be maintained until 2025, as this could lead to inflation in the US.

Chinese policymakers engaged in measures to stimulate economic growth are facing increasing pressure to boost domestic demand to offset the expected decline in exports - the main growth factor this year, analysts note.
