China has been more competitive throughout the Covid-19 pandemic in international trade and, in particular, in the US market, despite facing a trade war with the United States.

In 2018, the United States Trade Representative, pursuant to Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, concluded that China engages in forced technology transfer, theft of United States intellectual property and trade secrets, practices of non-market licensing and strategic acquisitions of US assets financed by the state.

Subsequently, the United States government imposed tariffs on imports from China worth approximately $ 250 billion.

The Chinese government responded with tariffs on US products worth $ 110 billion. Most of the rates are still in effect.

While Mexico’s exports to the United States grew in January 2021, its imports from that market fell 6.5% at an annual rate, to 19.483 million dollars, for which it registered a surplus of 9.558 million dollars.
