Wang Xiaoyan mentioned in her sharingThe US-China tariff war has lasted for over two years. A paper co-authored by the author and collaborators, reviewing relevant research over the past two years, found a high degree of consistency in the conclusions reached by domestic and international scholars regarding the impact of tariffs: tariffs will adversely affect the prospects for global economic growth, including in China and the US; tariffs are detrimental to the welfare levels of both countries, do not help resolve the US-China trade imbalance, do not help bring US manufacturing jobs back to the US, and do not contribute to a fairer trade structure; the US-China tariff war has worsened the global trade situation and has spillover effects on third-country exports, the specific direction of which depends on the trade structure of the affected countries and their competitive relationship with China and the US in specific industries.

However, scholars at home and abroad still debate which country's tariff war will have a more significant impact on, China or the United States, whether the depreciation of the RMB will help alleviate the short-term impact of tariffs, and whether the China-US tariff war will have a long-term structural impact on the global multilateral pattern. These questions remain the main focus of ongoing research.
