China Increases Tariffs on US Goods as Trade War Escalates


USA and China

China has decided to increase taxes, called tariffs, on goods imported from the United States. These tariffs will now be 84%, a big jump from the 34% that was announced earlier. This means it will now cost much more to bring American products into China.

This move comes after the United States, under former President Donald Trump, already placed very high tariffs on Chinese goods up to 125%. These actions are part of a growing trade war between the two largest economies in the world: China and the United States.

The trade war, which has been going on for some time, is showing no signs of ending soon. China has strongly said that it is ready to “fight to the end,” and the US government has also made it clear that it will not back down.

Besides raising tariffs, China has also taken action against more than a dozen American companies. These actions include banning top executives from entering China and stopping these companies from making any new investments in the country.

Experts believe that this ongoing trade conflict could affect the prices of many products around the world, especially electronics, machinery, and other items made using parts from both countries. It could also make it harder for businesses in both nations to grow and trade freely.

Both sides are standing firm, and until they reach an agreement, the trade war is likely to continue hurting global trade and causing economic uncertainty.

On other hand, US President Donald Trump has announced a 90-day pause (or break) on all new “reciprocal” tariffs. This means the United States will not add new taxes on goods from most countries for the next 90 days. However, this pause does not apply to China, tariffs on Chinese goods will still increase to at least 125%.

The decision to delay most tariffs came less than 24 hours after they were first put in place.
