Citizens in both countries view trade deficits as signs of national weakness—especially when the imbalance is with a political rival. Power concerns, not just individual economic factors, shape how people think about trade.

Using parallel survey experiments in the 🇺🇸 and 🇨🇳(n=4,181), I find that:
• Deficits are viewed more negatively than surpluses.
• Deficits with adversaries elicit stronger disapproval.
• In the U.S., fear of being “overtaken” by China amplifies deficit aversion.

The Trump administration sees trade deficits as “national emergencies”. Ever wondered why people seem to dislike imports? Very happy that my paper "Mercantilism 2.0: American and Chinese Mass Public Opinions Toward Trade Balances" www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Chinese exports to Europe will increase by 6% this year as a result of the Trump tariffs, the WTO says.

Meanwhile, trade in goods between the US and China will plunge by 81% and as much as 91% without any exemption.

WTO forecasts 6% bump in Chinese exports to Europe in 2025

With the Chinese and US economies decoupling, WTO forecasts anticipate a diversion of Chinese exports to Europe. #EuropeNews

Netherlands tightens US travel advice for LGBTQ+ people

German and Finnish authorities have taken similar steps, and Belgium is planning to do the same, as the Trump administration removes some protections for sexual minorities.

For a public opinion perspective on the discussion by Donald Trump of "fair and reciprocal" trade tariffs on all major U.S. trading partners cf. our studies with @sattlersthomas.bsky.social on the influence of reciprocity and alliances on public opinion on trade: www.cambridge.org/core/books/c...

The Trump administration has paused tariffs on Mexico and Canada but the case of tariffs on China could be a very different story. Cf. our paper below on why.

Four years. I still can't believe we did nothing, as a country, for four years, pretended to tell ourselves that "Every Day is Jan. 6 Now" & the "Republic faces an existential threat," & just let them come back without any consequence at all. What a sad, deeply shameful & unserious country we are.
