📄 Abstract
The aim of the study is to empirically analyze the US versus China Tariffs war (Exports-Imports impasse). The United States of America (US) and the China tariffs war which has been raging from 2018 to date (2026); has dominated world affairs, that tend to serialize the international economic community with negative effects on the overall international trade. The study is a qualitative one, where document studies method was adopted and utilized in generating data from secondary sources such as academic journals, bulletins, textbooks, scholarly papers, and internet materials. The generated data was analyzed through critical discourse method. The study has established that in spite of the heightened tariffs war, China with $35.0tr total world exports minus the US recorded as at 2025, which stand at 86%, with only 14% going to the US; has withered the storm of the Tariffs war; where it can do without the US markets by effectively exporting its goods and services to the wider markets of the rest of the countries of the world. So far, the US is the greatest looser in this tariffs war. The study recommends that the US should retract its steps and call off the Tariff war; as well as making China its closest trading partner in the world. When this close and balanced trading affinity is attained between the two largest economies of the world, it will create a more conducive and clean international trading environment.
