The Economic Impact of China PNTR Repeal
Macro Consulting Team
Oxford Economics
As scepticism towards China is rising among policymakers, businesses grow more concerned about the potential economic fallout from an escalation in US-China tariff policy. Oxford Economics was commissioned by the US-China Business Council (USCBC) to help inform the policymaking process by examining two scenarios that could materialize if China’s Permanent Normalized Trade Relations (PNTR) status was revoked – including the increase of US tariffs on Chinese goods to column 2 rates as well as a Chinese retaliation imposing pre-WTO rates on US goods.
Our analysis incorporates state-of-the art trade and economic models, including the Oxford Economics GEM, and finds that the US could lose up to $1.9trn in output over the five-year period following a China PNTR repeal.
This is our third study for USCBC after examining the impact of the US-China relationship and associated scenarios in two previous reports (2017 and 2021).

Nearshoring – China’s loss is not (yet) Mexico’s gain
Mexico is the best-positioned emerging market to gain from "nearshoring." but that does not mean it has seen the greatest benefits. Asian economies and Canada have grown their share of US imports faster than Mexico since the US-China trade decoupling started five years ago.

Unprecedented mix of challenges hurts APAC’s 2023 outlook
We believe 2023 is likely to be a difficult year for nearly all Asian economies. Growth should slow everywhere, except perhaps China and Thailand. The slowdown will likely be driven by a recession in the global economy but also due a shift global demand away from goods and towards services.
