China is the world’s factory floor. From high-end digital devices to inexpensive tchotchkes, many of the products that are bought and sold in the United States are made in China.
President Trump has announced plans to impose additional tariffs on Chinese-made goods imported to the United States. Trade tensions between the world’s two largest economies are already high.
We are a team of reporters who write about business and economic issues for The New York Times with a special focus on China and how geopolitical issues affect companies, businesses and people. We have written about how Chinese electric vehicles are flooding into Thailand and how China may engage in “supply chain warfare” to counteract protectionist U.S. policies.
To better understand the global impact of new tariffs on China, we would like to hear from business owners, entrepreneurs, managers and employees about how the import taxes, or even the threat that they will be imposed, are affecting your company or job — positive or negative. We would also like to hear what it takes to move production to the United States or other countries.
We’ll read each questionnaire response. We will not publish any part of your response without talking with you further. We will not share your contact information outside The Times newsroom, and we will use it only to contact you.
