Since 2025, the trade friction between China and the United States has shown a fluctuating trend of escalation and sharp decline. This game not only affects the global political and economic landscape but also profoundly influences the overseas expansion path of China's textile industry. As the new round of dialogue between China and the United States approaches on the eve of the APEC meeting, the US has frequently sent out signals of imposing additional tariffs, attempting to increase its bargaining chips in the negotiations. Meanwhile, China's response strategy and the market pattern of the textile industry have quietly changed.
The new situation of the game between China and the United States shows significant differences in strategies between the two sides
Judging from the recent actions of the United States, its trade methods lack novelty: first, there were rumors that it would impose a 500% tariff on China, and then it set the possible implementation date of the tariff on November 1st instead of the previous immediate effect. It is obvious that it wants to gain an advantage in negotiations through threatening publicity. In contrast, China's countermeasures have been more targeted - from requiring BHP Billiton of Australia to settle iron ore prices in RMB, to countering the sky-high port fees of the United States and covering US capital shipping companies, and then to implementing long-arm jurisdiction over rare earth exports, each step has broken through the previous framework of simple countermeasures, demonstrating stronger initiative.
The market pattern of the textile industry shows that the weight of the United States has declined while its competitiveness has upgraded
For the textile industry, the US market is presenting important yet non-essential special characteristics. On the one hand, China's textile industry is currently confronted with the problem of overcapacity. As a major global textile consumption market, the purchasing power of the United States remains an important source of demand. On the other hand, the industry's reliance on the US market has significantly declined: The Belt and Road Initiative has opened up a large number of emerging markets and diversified export risks; After the Section 301 tariff, tax evasion measures such as overseas industrial chain layout and re-export trade have become increasingly mature. The combined effect of high inflation in the United States, which has led to a decline in the total domestic consumption of textiles, has significantly weakened the impact of US tariffs. More importantly, the completeness of China's textile industry chain has been continuously improving. The cost performance of its products has surpassed that of most emerging textile markets. Its technological and quality advantages have also been increasingly prominent, and its core competitiveness has reached a new level.
