These measures, set to work on February 10, emphasize Chinas strategic targeting of politically sensitive U.S. industries.Beyond tariffs, China enforced export controls on crucial materials such as tungsten and telluriumessential for modern items like semiconductors and batteries. These restrictions leverage Chinas dominance in international supply chains and might interrupt industries reliant on these resources.Simultaneously, Beijing introduced an antitrust examination into Google.

The renewed trade war underscores a deeper competition in between the two superpowers that extends beyond tariffs.For policymakers and services alike, this conflict is more than a financial fight. It also represents a contest over technological supremacy and global influence. As both sides dig in, the stakes for global markets and supply chains continue to rise.
