The US tariffs on China have led China to redirect its exports to different markets, creating a new competitive risk for Turkey. DEIK President Nail Olpak pointed out that China's increased exports to Africa, the Middle East, and Europe could harm Turkey's logistical advantage.
DEIK President Nail Olpak stated that the US's annual trade deficit with China has decreased from $650 billion to $300 billion, with $350 billion worth of goods now being sourced from countries other than China, but China is redirecting its capacity to markets including Turkey. He emphasized that Turkish companies should focus more on value-added production.
China's shift to alternative markets following US tariffs has increased pressure on Turkish exporters. DEIK President Olpak pointed out the need to increase exports to China, emphasizing that trains returning to China via the Belt and Road Initiative should be filled by Turkish companies.
China, which shifted its $350 billion capacity to new markets due to additional US tariffs, has its sights set on the shelves of Turkish products in Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. DEIK President Nail Olpak warned, "China will aggressively lower prices to enter the market, disrupting the market's pricing structure. Let's not only look for the difficulties in domestic factors."

Chairman Nail Olpak stated that Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, which China is now targeting, are markets where the Turkish business world is strong, and that this presents new opportunities for Türkiye.
