China imposes 84% tariff on US goods as Trump trade war escalates
![]() 2330 Wednesday, 09 April, 2025, 19:27 Beijing will raise tariffs on US goods from 34% to 84% starting on Thursday, an action that follows the US increasing tariffs on Chinese goods and tensions over trade policies. In a statement, the Chinese finance ministry said the new tariff rate will take effect from 12:01 am CST on 10 April (7:01 pm CEST on Wednesday). "On 8 April 2025, the US government announced that it would increase the 'reciprocal tariff' on Chinese goods exported to the US from 34% to 84%," the statement said. "The US's 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," it added. As a result, it was further noted, the tariffs on imported goods originating in the United States will go up from 34% to 84%. It comes after Beijing once again vowed earlier to “fight to the end” against US President Donald Trump's tariffs in a lengthy policy statement, arguing that trade between the two countries is in balance as a 104% tax on the country's exports to the US came into effect. Will China negotiate with the White House? |
