On 2 September 2022, the Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR) announced it would continue the billions of dollars of Section 301 punitive tariffs against Chinese products. USTR said it made the decision based on a request from “domestic businesses benefiting from the tariff action.” As a legal requirement, USTR will launch a full review of Section 301 tariff action in the coming months. In other words, the US-China tariff war, which broke out four years ago, is not ending anytime soon.
