According to Reuters:
Chinese shipments to the U.S. fell 20% in 2025, but rose 25.8% to Africa, 7.4% to Latin America, 13.4% to Southeast Asia and 8.4% to the European Union last year.
"Many countries previously have not been China-friendly are now kind of pivoting to China … because the United States is becoming a lot less predictable," Tomic said. "The more the U.S. gets difficult to deal with, the more it opens up for China."
According to fool49:
China has increased trade with many regions, as countries seek to diversify their trade. Even as EU and India diversify, with each other. The worlds largest economies are looking beyond USA. With recent visits to China, by Canadian and UK leaders.
Let us hope that democracies like India, can continue to build its trade relationships, with also smaller economies, including in South America and the Middle East.

“a lot less pedictable” or a lot more hostile?
Absolutely? No
Relatively? Absolutely
We will see.
China like all countries does stuff that makes trade unpredictable.
For example china stopped accepting plastic for recycling and it was a huge pain world wide.
But China is way less rude about such changes. And the rule changes are based in reality plastic recycling is a nasty business.
