As the ongoing trade war between the US and China continues, Japanese businesses are closely monitoring the impact on Chinese exporters. This is in light of President Trump's imposition of additional tariffs, which are creating challenges for Chinese companies exporting to the US. The consequences of this escalating conflict could have significant ramifications on global trade, including Japan's economy.

Japan, having strong economic ties with both the US and China, is wary of the negative effects of the trade war. The populace and businesses alike are concerned about the potential impact on Japanese exports, particularly in technology and automotive sectors. Japanese values related to economic stability and harmony in international relations are in focus here.

While the US, under the Trump administration, has aimed to protect domestic businesses through tariffs, such a tactic is often criticized within the EU due to the potential harm to global trade harmony. Both the EU and Japan generally advocate for more open markets and less trade restrictions.
