In a move that’s got global markets buzzing, China announced it’ll keep hitting pause on hefty 24% tariffs for U.S. imports—but hold onto a 10% rate for another year. The change kicks in at 1:01 p.m. on November 10, per Wednesday’s update from the Customs Tariff Commission. 🕒
What’s the Deal?
This isn’t just random economic chess. The commission says it’s all about locking in progress from recent China-U.S. trade talks. Think of it like a temporary truce in a high-stakes drama—both sides are keeping the dialogue alive while avoiding a full-blown tariff war. 💼🤝
