Daily Life In Guangzhou, China

Bicycle and motor traffic, including a public bus, pass down a main road as daily life continues in Guangzhou, China, on May 8, 2025. The year 2025 marks a significant escalation of the US-China trade conflict under the second Trump administration. A series of increasing tariffs leads to the U.S. imposing a 145% tariff on Chinese goods, and China imposing a 125% tariff on American goods; these measures are forecast to cause a 0.2% loss of global merchandise trade.
