China raises retaliatory tariffs on US imports by extreme amount as President issues strong warning to Trump
China has raised its retaliatory tariffs on US imports by an extreme amount as President Xi Jinping issues a strong warning to Trump.
The trade war between China and the US has intensified in the past few days, with President Donald Trump placing as much as a 104 percent tax on Chinese goods that came into effect on Wednesday (April 9), with Jinping hitting back with an additional 84 percent tariff hike.
Now, that 84 percent has surged to 125 percent in the latest economic blow to be carried out on the world stage, and the stand-off between the two nations shows no sign of faltering.
It comes as Trump raised tariffs on Chinese imports to as much as 145 percent, on the same day he paused tariffs for 90 days for all other nations - including an island inhibited by only penguins and seals.
The Chinese State Council Tariff Commission issued the following statement: "On April 10, 2025, the US government announced that the 'reciprocal tariff' on Chinese goods exported to the US would be further increased to 125%.
"The US's imposition of abnormally high tariffs on China seriously violates international economic and trade rules, basic economic laws and common sense, and is completely a unilateral bullying and coercion.
"In accordance with the Tariff Law of the People's Republic of China, the Customs Law of the People's Republic of China, the Foreign Trade Law of the People's Republic of China and other laws and regulations and the basic principles of international law, and with the approval of the State Council, starting from April 12, 2025, the tariff increase measures on imported goods originating from the United States will be adjusted."
The statement continued: "The relevant matters are as follows.
"1. Adjust the tariff rate stipulated in the 'Announcement of the State Council Tariff Commission on Adjusting the Tariff Measures on Imports Originating in the United States' (Tax Commission Announcement No. 5 of 2025) from 84% to 125%. Given that at the current tariff level, there is no market acceptance for US goods exported to China. If the US continues to impose tariffs on Chinese goods exported to the US, China will ignore it.
"2. Other matters shall be implemented in accordance with the 'Announcement of the Tariff Commission of the State Council on the Imposition of Additional Tariffs on Imported Goods Originating in the United States' (Tax Commission Announcement No. 4 of 2025)."
