Right at the start of 2026, the global situation has been thrown into utter chaos by the United States’ hegemonic maneuvers. On one side, the tariff club is ramping up aggressively—from five categories of products targeted at China to U.S. NATO allies in Europe, from industrial goods to pharmaceutical excipients—pushing tariffs straight to their maximum levels—reaching as high as 1,069.27%. Additional tariffs of 100% and 50% have become the norm, leaving even small cross-border parcels unable to escape the crackdown. On the other side, there’s an even more brazen declaration: At a White House press conference, Trump openly announced that his newly formed “Peace Commission” could potentially replace the United Nations.

We have just learned that the Tariff Commission of the State Council has released the “2026 Tariff Adjustment Plan,” which will take effect on January 1, 2026. Guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, the Plan thoroughly implements the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the resolutions of successive plenary sessions of the 20th Central Committee. It fully, accurately, and comprehensively puts into practice the new development philosophy, accelerates the establishment of a new development pattern, adheres to the general tone of seeking progress while maintaining stability, and makes scientific adjustments to provisional import tariff rates, optimizes tariff item classifications, and continues to apply协定 (agreement) tariffs and preferential tariffs. This will help lead the development of new-quality productive forces, meet the growing needs of the people for a better life, expand high-level opening-up, and promote high-quality development.
