The article highlights China’s response to President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Chinese products by implementing tariffs on select U.S. imports. Additionally, China announced a 15% tariff on coal and liquefied natural gas, along with a 10% tariff on crude oil, agricultural machinery, and large-engine cars imported from the U.S. These measures are part of China’s counter-tariff strategy in response to the U.S.’s unilateral tariff increase, which is seen as a violation of World Trade Organization rules. The State Council Tariff Commission emphasized that these tariffs could damage normal economic and trade cooperation between China and the U.S. Despite the potential impact on U.S. exports, particularly in the energy sector, the overall effect may be limited as the U.S. does not export significant amounts of certain goods to China. This development reflects the escalating trade tensions between the two economic powerhouses and the potential consequences for global trade dynamics.
