U.S. officials express concern over a new trade deal between Canada and China that lowers tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs), potentially threatening North American automotive jobs. The deal allows for the import of 49,000 Chinese EVs in its first year, expanding to 70,000 in five years, with most priced under $25,000. While some U.S. politicians criticize the deal as a foreign policy failure, others, including former President Trump, support it. The deal may benefit Tesla, which produces cars in China for export to Canada, making them more affordable.

- China’s auto industry is expanding rapidly overseas, with a notable focus on the U.S. market.  
- The recent trade deal between Canada and China could lower tariff barriers for Chinese EVs, potentially impacting North American jobs while making vehicles more affordable.  
- Analysts predict this will increase competition, emphasizing that affordability concerns in the automotive market could drive increased consumer interest in lower-cost EVs.

China's economic growth slowed to 4.5% in Q4 2025, the weakest in three years, as domestic demand weakened. Full-year GDP met the official target at 5%, despite trade frictions and a real estate slump. Retail sales grew only 0.9% in December, missing forecasts, while fixed-asset investment contracted 3.8%. The urban unemployment rate remained at 5.1%. However, China achieved a record trade surplus of $1.2 trillion, driven by exports to non-U.S. markets. Economists urge a shift towards domestic consumption to mitigate long-term risks.

In the AI era, the demand for electricians has surged. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that between 2024 and 2034, there will be an annual shortfall of about 81,000 electricians, with employment in this field expected to grow by 9%. The rise of data centers is a major reason, driving the recovery of the blue-collar job market, including plumbers and construction workers. Tech giants have also significantly increased their hiring in the energy sector, with a year-on-year growth of 34% in 2024. Companies like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are competing fiercely to recruit talent in this field

- The U.S. faces a projected annual shortage of approximately 81,000 electricians from 2024 to 2034, driven mainly by the demand from data centers, leading to a 9% increase in electrician employment over the next decade.  
- Data centers have significantly impacted blue-collar jobs, with the demand for electricians surpassing any other single industry as tech giants ramp up hiring, especially in the energy sector.  
- While the pressing need for workers showcases opportunity, a lasting solution is complicated by the historical shortage of skilled labor and the shift in younger generations’ career aspirations.
