China vowed not to yield to US pressure or President Donald Trump’s threats to escalate the trade war, stating that it will take countermeasures to protect its rights and interests.
The Chinese Ministry of Commerce declared that the US threat to escalate tariffs on China is a repeated mistake that once again reveals the US’s tactics.
China emphasized that it will “fight to the end”, if the US persists in achieving its goals.
This came after Trump threatened to impose an additional 50% tariff on Chinese imports unless Beijing lifted the 34% tariffs it imposed on American products last week.
Last week, Trump imposed a 34% tariff on Chinese imports, in addition to the 20% tariff he imposed since February, bringing the total tariffs imposed on China this year to 54%.
