Trump's tariffs leave China's neighbours with an impossible choice

Trump 's tariffs leave China 's neighbours with an impossible choice.

South East Asia's export-driven economies have played well - they have benefitted from both Chinese and US trade and investment.

In 2024 , China earned a record $ 3.5tn from exports - 16% of those went to S. East Asia , its biggest market.

China 's loss and South East Asia's gain could be the region's gain, experts say.

China is concerned that channelling its US -bound exports to the rest of the world would "end up really alienating and aggravating" its trading partners.

South East Asian governments responded with a wave of protectionism, as local businesses demanded protection from Chinese imports.

Malaysia has nearly half the world's market for rubber gloves.

The region still faces a 10% baseline tariff, like most of the world.

But even if the paused tariffs kick in, customers will find paying an additional 24% on Malaysian gloves vastly preferable to the 145% levy they will have to cough up for Chinese -made gloves.
