In recent months, China’s foreign trade sector has been rocked by a sensational development: Pakistan—long considered a “brother in arms” of the Chinese Communist Party—suddenly slapped over 30% anti-dumping duties on a range of Chinese goods. What’s more, these tariffs will remain in place for five years and directly target sectors like chemicals and industrial raw materials. For years, the CCP assumed Pakistan was practically defenseless against China—that their relationship was unbelievably close. But now, Pakistan has taken a page from Europe and the U.S., wielding the tariff stick against the CCP. Some are joking that if even Pakistan is turning its back, it shows China’s foreign trade environment has really deteriorated. This reflects what happened with India. India imposed tariffs on Chinese imports—steel, chemicals, mirrors, cold-rolled electrical steel, and practically every other industrial product they could think of—effectively shutting out Chinese goods.
