California remains one of the most vital U.S. hubs for trade with the Chinese mainland, anchoring trans-Pacific commerce. Yet recent U.S. tariffs have introduced new challenges and uncertainty.
This week in Los Angeles, trade officials and business leaders from the Chinese mainland and California gathered at a forum to strengthen cooperation, reaffirm mutual commitments, and explore ways to navigate the shifting trade landscape.
Participants emphasized data-driven planning and agile partnerships as essential tools to sustain cross-border exchange amid shifting policies.
“By staying connected and responsive, we can build resilient frameworks that support businesses of all sizes,” said a California trade executive, underscoring the need for ongoing collaboration.
Attendees wrapped up the forum with a renewed dedication to cooperation, launching joint working groups focused on easing tariff impacts, expanding trade channels, and fostering innovation. As economic dynamics evolve, these trans-Pacific ties will remain crucial for California and the Chinese mainland alike.
