China Says Has No Choice but to Retaliate Against Latest U.S.Tariffs

China says has no choice but to retaliate against latest US tariffs


China has no choice but to respond to recent US tariffs and hopes the United States will correct its behavior, the Commerce Ministry said in a statement on Tuesday in a statement without specifying what measures it would take.

While US President Donald Trump announced on Friday that China would impose a customs duty of 10 percent on Chinese imports worth 200 billion dollars, China has just announced its official response to the imposition of customs duties on the $ 60 billion worth of imported American goods in the year, The Chinese government made a statement that it had no choice but to take similar countermeasures and would reciprocate if the United States insisted on increasing tariffs.

The US president has threatened to impose additional import duties of $ 267 billion if Beijing responds. Will his threat be implemented after China's last response?

A statement issued by the US president that if China took retaliatory measures against our agriculture or other industries, we will immediately activate a third phase, the imposition of new customs duties on the value of 267 billion dollars of additional imports.

The trade war between Washington and Beijing has been on fire since July, when Washington imposed a $ 50 billion fee on Chinese products annually.

Analysts expect the tension between the United States and China to continue in the trade area, and recent measures may have eased the possibility of easing the tension.
