From my country's MSM
" 'For the Chinese,
the US is a new country that fights too much with the sword,
and they have a tactic of responding with the same thing they are attacked with' -
says Magda, a Pole living in Chengdu.
How will the 'war' between these countries affect citizens?
Will the Chinese feel the tariffs?
'The attitude of the Chinese is as follows:
China has existed for five thousand years,
the Chinese are not too worried about the increasing sanctions on a daily basis,
because they have their own domestic brands that provide them with what they need.
Besides,
when it comes to luxury goods,
the European market is much more desirable',
says Magda.
'The Chinese market is dominated by domestic brands.
Even if the prices of American products increased dramatically,
it is not difficult to find substitutes quickly.
Instead of an iPhone,
you can buy Huawei or Xiaomi'.
According to another Pole - Ola,
the Chinese are calm and know that they are in a better position than the Americans.
'Chinese society has vast experience in dealing with crises.
People are used to saving money,
they are able to wait out difficult times and adjust their lifestyle.
For many Chinese,
the priority is not immediate comfort,
but long-term stability and development',
Ola emphasizes.
'If they can no longer import American products because of the prices,
they will start looking for substitutes locally or in other Asian countries.
No one is wringing their hands,
no one is complaining -
they will simply act.
The Chinese mentality
has such an ingrained patience and readiness to make sacrifices in the name of future success.
And this translates into the entire society',
Ola points out.
How does an expert see the situation related to the tariff war between China and the United States?
The professor at the University of Economics in Krakow,
notes that 'further tariff increases by the Americans no longer have any significance'.
'With the constantly developing Chinese economy,
which, despite American tariffs of 140 percent,
is expected to grow by 1.6 percent in 2025 -
further tariff increases no longer have any significance.
The Chinese authorities have been trying for many years to boost the domestic consumer market,
which is the main priority of the Chinese authorities',
he explains."
