Increased Trade by China with Other Countries

ZHUHAI, CHINA / ACCESSWIRE / November 25, 2019 / Powerbridge Technologies Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ:PBTS) ("Powerbridge" or the "Company"), a global trade software applications and technology services provider, is please to provide clarity on its business effect from the ongoing U.S.-China tarde war.

Stewart Lor, President and Chief Financial Officer of Powerbridge Technologies, commented, "The ongoing U.S.-China trade war has not had a negative effect on our business. We believe there are macro and company-specific reasons supporting this fact, as our business continues to demonstrate strong growth, as exemplified by our strong 62% revenue growth in the first half of 2019."

At the macro level, the reduced trade between the U.S. and China has been made up by the increased trade by China with other countries. The overall China import/export levels have still been increasing. Of note, Powerbridge still services a very small percentage of the overall market, so would likely not experience effects from short-term macro moves in the market.

Powerbridge's business is increasingly driven by the strong Chinese government push for trade (Belt and Road Initiative) and the upgrade or replacement of technology solutions with the latest technologies (big data, articificial intelligence and blockchain).

The Company's recently reported 62% revenue growth for the first half of 2019 shows its technology innovation and market expansion are taking effect. The Powerbridge technology team continues to develop and launch new products and services to address the pain points and inefficiencies in global trade compliance, logistics and operations.

The China-United States trade war is an ongoing economic conflict between the world's two largest national economies, China and the United States. President Donald Trump in 2018 began setting tariffs and other trade barriers on China with the goal of forcing it to make changes to what the U.S. says are "unfair trade practices". Among those trade practices and their effects are the growing trade deficit, the theft of intellectual property, and the forced transfer of American technology to China.
