This article investigates the economic effects of tariff measures between the United States and China from 2018 to 2025, with a focus on electronics trade and global supply chain reconfiguration. Based on data derived from the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) and the World Bank, it examines the evolution of sourcing strategies, patterns of firm relocation, and associated economic policy implications. Although tariffs brought down China’s share of exports to the U.S., they carried unintended cost-related consequences and regulatory disputes. This shows that prolonged trade barriers can generate economic distortions, and that industrial and trade governance must be closely coordinated, according to the study. However, China continues to play a major role in the share of US-electronics imports, which establishes its key role in the global market of electronic products.
