Nearly a month after the Chinese mainland and the United States kicked off a 90-day tariff adjustment period, businesses on both sides are diving into new opportunities—even amid lingering uncertainty about what happens once the clock runs out.
Analysts say the first meeting of the Chinese mainland-U.S. economic and trade consultation mechanism in London (June 9–10) signaled a shift: cooperation sits above confrontation. “Cooperation—and pursuing mutually beneficial outcomes—serves their interests better than prolonged confrontation,” Sun Taiyi, an associate professor of political science at Christopher Newport University, told CGTN.
With lower tariffs in play, retailers from the Chinese mainland and the United States are racing to book orders. In Yiwu City, Christmas product seller Jiang Jiangping reports a scramble from U.S. clients eager to lock in deals. Meanwhile, furniture exporter Lin Wanyi in Fujian Province confirms that 20 containers once held up by tariffs are now cleared for export.
As the 90-day window unfolds, these early wins hint at broader hopes: that trade ties can pivot from tension to teamwork, fueling growth for entrepreneurs and markets on both sides.
