China has pushed back once again to U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff policies by hiking its levies on U.S. imports to more than 80%.
China’s Office of the Tariff Commission of the State Council said that tariffs on U.S. goods will rise to 84% from 34% starting on April 10, according to a translation of the announcement. This comes after the latest U.S. tariff hike — which brings levies on Chinese goods to more than 100% — took effect at the start of April 9.

China announces retaliatory tariffs of 84% on U.S. goods in response to Trump
The repeated escalation of the tariffs threatens to bring trade between two of the world’s most important economies to a standstill.
The Trump administration announced a sweeping new tariff policy last week, and warned other countries not to retaliate. Some nations, including Japan, have seemed willing to negotiate on tariffs, but China appears to be taking a more hardline stance.
After China’s initial response to tariffs announced April 2, Trump announced an additional 50% hike, putting the total level for Chinese goods at 104%.
The U.S. had already imposed new tariffs on China before it rolled out its full trade policy in April. China, along with Canada and Mexico, was hit with new levies earlier in Trump’s presidency as part of what the administration says was an effort to stop fentanyl from entering the U.S.

US wants everyone to kiss its ass.I think China hits the wall.
USA is not negotiable. USA doesn't need other countries, as much as other countries need USA. USA wants China to kiss USA's ass.
There will be a moment in the near future when the situation is getting much worse than now... China will cease all the trade with USA.
China will stop sending cargo ship to USA.
I think this is what USA wants... Trump wants.
Anyway, I just want to say, "Congratulation to USA! Cheers!!!" Hahaha

Your article makes no sense. Even if Shein moves, Vietnam is still getting tariffs 50%. Trump is basically dismantling free trade. It makes no difference.Shein is known for wear-once clothes that won't survive too many washing machine cycles

On the contrary, it should be Trump the old white man who should kowtow to Emperor Xi Jinping. Emperor Xi means business after China's "Hundred Years of Humiliation" and won't ever again allow white orange genocidal men to harm his country's economy and sovereignty again. All white Americans who support the fool Trump will know the folly of their racist ways and will know how to eat the humble pie.Kiss, lick, and suck it!
