Companies shipping a range of products from seafood to furniture are among those in the firing line.
BEIJING - With the eyes of the world on Washington for this week's high-stakes trade talks between China and the United States, none will be more focused than those of Chinese exporters who are increasingly worried about the impact of more tariffs.
"We're waiting for the results of the negotiation. If Trump wants to do anything we can't stop him," said an employee at Tongwei Hainan Aquatic Products, which specialises in tilapia and ships most of its product to the US. But Trump's 10 percent tariffs have hampered sales this year, with American imports of the fish roughly halved in January and down in February.
The number of international buyers fell about four percent from last year's fair, organisers said, and export orders fell one percent.
