US Envoy Calls for Equitable Trade Amid Rising Chinese Manufacturing Influence

U.S. Ambassador David Perdue urged fair, reciprocal trade with China and warned that China's growing manufacturing dominance threatens global factories and jobs, officials said.

  • On Thursday in Beijing, U.S. Ambassador David Perdue urged fair and reciprocal trade at an American Chamber of Commerce in China annual dinner, saying America seeks fair, free, reciprocal trade.
  • A tit-for-tat tariff spiral drove duties sky-high, prompting rounds of 90-day truces, and in late October the two sides agreed to a one-year pause after President Donald Trump met Xi Jinping in South Korea.
  • Perdue called Thursday for fair and reciprocal trade, noting China’s manufacturing growth while warning its exports threaten factories and jobs elsewhere, and American companies face market barriers.
  • Work is underway for a visit by President Donald Trump to China in 2026, and Xi Jinping is expected to visit the U.S. this year; Perdue said recent pauses created space to address tough issues.
  • The U.S. tariff push and China’s export growth raise global economic stakes as Perdue warned `This is not healthy for the rest of the world,` reflecting impacts on global manufacturers, factories and workers.
