On April 9, Trump\u2019s administration implemented the new tariff levels targeting a wide range of Chinese products. Just days later, on April 12, China responded with its own sweeping tariff increase. Ironically, the U.S. decision to spike tariffs on China came on the same day it announced a 90-day tariff pause for most other countries, including one with no human inhabitants\u2014home only to seals and penguins.<\/p>\n<p>A statement from China\u2019s State Council Tariff Commission called out the U.S. actions as \u201cunilateral bullying,\u201d claiming the drastic increases were a violation of international trade norms and economic principles. The commission cited several Chinese laws as the legal basis for their retaliatory move, emphasizing the tariffs were approved by the State Council and effective immediately.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement detailed that under the new measures, the tariff rate set in an earlier policy would rise to 125%, effectively eliminating any economic viability for American goods entering the Chinese market. The statement added that if the U.S. continues its aggressive tariff stance, China would not recognize or accommodate further provocations.<\/p>\n<p>The trade war was reignited when Trump signed an executive order accusing China, Mexico, and Canada of contributing to illegal immigration and drug trafficking into the United States. That order marked the start of the new wave of tariffs, beginning with a 10% blanket duty on Chinese imports on February 4. In retaliation, China implemented its own tariffs days later\u201415% on coal and liquefied natural gas and 10% on crude oil, agricultural machinery, and large-engine U.S. vehicles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>China has significantly escalated its retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports, pushing the trade conflict with President Donald Trump to new extremes.
