The United States has initiated an investigation into China's compliance with the 2020 trade agreement between the two nations, amid escalating trade tensions.

US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer announced the investigation on Fri, Oct 24, 2025, coinciding with President Donald Trump's visit to Asia for discussions with Chinese President Xi Jinping. China has denied allegations of non-compliance with the trade agreement.

The investigation seeks to determine whether China has adhered to its commitments under the "Phase One" Economic and Trade Agreement. According to the Office of the US Trade Representative, there are concerns regarding China's obligations related to intellectual property protections, forced technology transfers, and financial services.

The outcome of this investigation may provide President Trump with increased authority to impose additional tariffs on China. During Trump's second term, significant trade duties were already levied on Chinese imports.

The "Phase One" agreement, concluded in 2020, required China to increase its purchases of US agricultural and manufacturing products. However, recent reports indicate that China has not fulfilled all aspects of this agreement, including the importation of US soybeans, which saw a decline in September 2025.

Further discussions between the US and China are scheduled for Sat, Oct 26, 2025, focusing on China's export restrictions on rare earth metals, crucial for US technology products.

A Federal Register notice from the Office of the US Trade Representative highlights the allegations against China regarding its commitments under the agreement. The document can be accessed here (PDF) .
