BERLIN (Reuters) - Chinese goods shipped to Germany surged at more than twice the pace of total imports in the first seven months of the year as U.S. tariffs disrupted global trade flows, according to a study by the Institute for Employment Research (IAB).

 

In the first seven months of 2025, imports from China rose by 10.5% to 97.6 billion euros ($114.23 billion), while total imports increased by 4.9% from January to July to around 796.6 billion euros, data from the German statistics office showed on Monday.

 

As a result of U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods, consulting firm Aevean said that in May, the value of Chinese e-commerce shipments to the United States plunged by 43% year-on-year.

 

Chinese goods redirected to Germany due to US tariffs, researchers say

 

"We have not yet been flooded with Chinese goods across the board," said Enzo Weber, head of the IAB research unit for forecasts and macroeconomic analyses. "However, there are some product groups where noticeable effects can be seen."

 

So now he is demanding other countries what tariffs they should impose on their imports.

Can he get any more authoritarian?

Trump urges EU to impose 100% tariffs on China, India; US and India agree to talks

 

President Trump has requested that the EU impose 100% tariffs on India and China to pressure Russia over its war in Ukraine, the Financial Times reported.

Trump made the demand in a call with senior US and EU officials in Washington on Tuesday. A US official said they would "mirror" any tariffs imposed by the EU on China and India.
