US has approached China seeking talks on Trump tariffs, says state social media

And it's only 2% if the overall economy to boot.

I don't think they are *reliant* on US trade anyway.

Of course they would rather trade than not trade, and losing the market would hurt, but only about 15% of China's exports go to the US.

Meanwhile, Chinese economy is already adjusting to the tariffs by redirecting trade domestically https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2025-04-28/trade-war-china-s-e-commerce-giants-are-putting-up-a-fight

So, let's say they figure this out, US takes the L and drops their tariffs, what Chinese company is going to want to be reliant on trade with US going forward?

Let the grovelling begin.

China should demand that the US stop auto tariffs and the huawei ban. Also obviously no more funding terrorism and regime changes anywhere.
