US tariffs hit China's exports in May, but June seen as ‘a better month'
China's export growth slowed last month, weighed down by fewer US orders being made before the two countries came to a 90-day tariff truce. Advertisement And while June's prospects look poised to improve, China's manufacturing and trade sectors remain under strain, according to economists, who also point to lingering uncertainties over American tariffs. China's May exports were up by 4.8 per cent, year on year, to US$316.1 billion, customs data showed on Monday. The figure followed April's 8.1 per cent growth and fell short of the estimate of a 6.28 per cent increase in a market survey by Chinese financial data provider Wind. Exports to the United States plunged by 34.52 per cent, sharper than the 21 per cent drop seen in April, owing to the trade war between the two countries. Advertisement

Tariff war ‘not the end of the world' for Hong Kong companies: trade council chief
The US-China tariff war is 'not the end of the world' for Hong Kong businesses, the new head of the city's Trade Development Council has said, as he outlined strategies to help them capitalise on geopolitical uncertainties. Chairman Frederick Ma Si-hang, who took office on June 1, also said on Monday the council would explore setting up more offices in new markets and rebranding the Asian Financial Forum to include more industry elements. The council has 51 offices around the world, including three in the United States and 13 in mainland China. 'We need to reposition our global presence based on the latest geopolitical situation and the need to explore business opportunities in new markets,' Ma, a former commerce chief, said. 'Our global network will be put under review, some new offices might be opened and some existing ones might get more resources … for example, we might consider Peru after a free-trade agreement was signed recently.' Ma said the tariff war had brought uncertainties to businesses and impacted investors' confidence, but he remained optimistic.

China-US trade talks under way in London
China-US trade talks under way in London China and US trade officials meet in Lancaster House in London. Photo: Reuters The first meeting of the China-US economic and trade consultation mechanism opened in London on Monday Vice Premier He Lifeng attended the meeting with the US delegation including Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer at Lancaster House. The meeting is aimed at shoring up a fragile truce in a trade dispute sparked by US tariffs that has roiled the global economy. The talks are expected to last at least a day and followed negotiations in Geneva last month that brought a temporary respite in the trade war. Lutnick did not attend the Geneva talks at which the countries struck a 90-day deal to roll back some of the triple-digit tariffs they had placed on each other. President Xi Jinping and his US counterpart Donald Trump spoke by phone last Thursday in an attempt to put relations back on track. The meeting in London was helped by news that Beijing on Saturday approved some applications for rare-earth exports, while US aviation giant Boeing is to start sending commercial jets to China for the first time since April.
