I'm really concerned about China's trade surplus 
... like, I get why they wanna boost their economy and all, but it's starting to hurt a lot of other countries that rely on manufacturing 
. Mexico and India already have tariffs in place, and the EU is talking about reforming the WTO... it's getting pretty messy 
.
I don't think China's mercantilist policies are the best approach, tbh
. I mean, if they open up their market to more trade and stuff, that would be awesome 
. It could help preserve globalization and all that jazz 
. The thing is, if they keep going down this export-led path, it might just validate the US's decision to withdraw from the global economy... and that wouldn't be good for anyone 
.
We really need China to step forward as a global leader and promote more reciprocal trade practices
. It's not too late for them to change course and help stabilize the trading system... but it would take some major shifts in their policies

It's like they're printing money left and right! But seriously, this is a double-edged sword - on one hand it's boosting their economy, but on the other hand it's straining global manufacturing infrastructure.
Fingers crossed!
. It's making life hard for other countries' manufacturers. I mean, can you imagine if someone came into your country and just started selling everything to everyone else without buying much back? 
That wouldn't be fair, right?
It's not just about China anymore, but the whole world.
. That's like saying someone stole your toy and then blaming the person who shared it with you 
. China needs to find a balance between growing its economy and helping other countries too.
. Maybe China just needs to open up more and trade with other countries more fairly 
. We need an engaged China to help keep the global trading system stable 
Did you know that the US trade deficit with China has been growing since 2001, from $81B to over $400B in 2025? 
That's a massive shift! Meanwhile, China's export growth rate has slowed down to just 3.2% YoY in Q4 2024, down from 8.2% in 2019 
. The WTO's average trade facilitation time has also increased by 20% since 2010, from 11 days to 13.5 days 
️. With China's market share expected to reach 18% of global exports by 2030, it's clear that the global trading system needs a reboot 
.
By opening up its domestic market and adopting stronger trade practices, Beijing can help stabilize the global trading system and create a more level playing field. 
. The EU is now pushing for WTO reform 
to tackle China's "unfair" trade practices
