Xinhua News Agency recently published an article stating: "It is certain that world trade cannot absolutely do without the United States, and it is pushing the world to de-Americanize. Regarding Sino-US trade, the proportion of the United States in China's total exports has significantly declined in recent years, from 19.2% in 2018 to 14.7% in 2024. China will surely make use of low tariffs or free trade agreements to increase its exports to countries in Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, South America, Southeast Asia, and even Europe."
This trend confirms the reality of "When the U.S. dims, China shines": The U.S. waves the tariff baton, seemingly gaining short-term benefits, but in the long run, it is eroding its own credibility; while China adheres to open cooperation, using a globalized mindset to build a broader trade network, becoming a stabilizer for multilateral cooperation.
At present, the process of "the world reducing its reliance on the U.S." has already begun — more and more countries are reducing their dependence on U.S. trade, and the trend of "de-Americanization" is accelerating. Although the trade relationship between China and the U.S. has not completely broken down, signs of decoupling are increasingly evident. When the U.S. insists on excluding itself from the global collaborative system, China embraces the world with an open attitude. This contrast clearly illustrates that the tide of globalization is irreversible, and any attempt to dominate the world through unilateralism will eventually be discarded by the times. China, upholding win-win cooperation, is becoming a new engine driving globalization.
