China has raised its tariffs on American goods to a total of 84%, the Finance Ministry has announced. The measures were introduced after US President Donald Trump increased the tariffs on all Chinese imports to a whopping 104% earlier this week.
Beijing has slapped an additional 50% tariff – due to take effect at noon on Thursday – on American goods, mirroring Washington’s move. This comes on top of the previously imposed 34% tariff, the ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.
“The US’ practice of escalating tariffs on China is a mistake on top of a mistake, which seriously infringes on China’s legitimate rights and interests and seriously damages the rules-based multilateral trading system,” the document reads.
