Bangkok, April 9: China again vowed to "fight to the end" Wednesday in an escalating trade war with the US as it announced it would raise tariffs on American goods to 84% from Thursday. Beijing also added an array of countermeasures after US President Donald Trump raised the total tariff on imports from China to 104%. Beijing said it was launching an additional suit against the US at the World Trade Organization and placed further restrictions on American companies' trade with Chinese companies.

"If the US insists on further escalating its economic and trade restrictions, China has the firm will and abundant means to take necessary countermeasures and fight to the end,슬롯사이트� the Ministry of Commerce wrote in a statement introducing its white paper on trade with the US.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천US-China Tariff War: Beijing Hits Back at Donald Trump With 84% Retaliatory Tariff on American Goods, Up From 34%, Effective April 10.

The government declined to say whether it would negotiate with the White House, as many other countries have started doing. On Friday, China announced a 34% tariff on all goods imported from the US, export controls on rare earths minerals, and a slew of other measures in response to Trump's 슬롯사이트œLiberation Day슬롯사이트� tariffs. Trump then added an additional 50% tariff on goods from China, saying negotiations with them were terminated.

Wednesday's newest measures include adding 11 American companies to a so-called 슬롯사이트œunreliable entities슬롯사이트� list that would bar Chinese companies from selling them dual-use goods. Among the companies are American Photonics, and SYNEXXUS, both of whom work with the American military. So far, China has not appeared interested in bargaining. 슬롯사이트œIf the US truly wants to resolve issues through dialogue and negotiation, it should adopt an attitude of equality, respect and mutual benefit,슬롯사이트� said Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Lin Jian Wednesday.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Tariff War: China Hits Back at US President Donald Trump, Imposes 84% Additional Tariffs on American Goods.

The paper says that the US has not honoured the promises it made in the phase 1 trade deal concluded during Trump's first term. As an example, it said that a US law that would ban TikTok unless it is sold by its Chinese parent company violates a promise that neither would "pressure the other party to transfer technology to its own individuals."

Trump signed an order to keep TikTok running for another 75 days last week after a potential deal to sell the app to American owners was put on ice. ByteDance representatives called the White House to indicate that China would no longer approve the deal until there could be negotiations about trade and tariffs.

The paper also argued that taking into account trade in services and US companies' domestic Chinese branches, economic exchange between the two countries is 슬롯사이트œroughly in balance.슬롯사이트� It says that China had a trade in services deficit with the US of $26.57 billion in 2023, which is composed of industries like insurance, banking and accounting. Trump's tariffs were designed to close trade deficits with foreign countries, but those were calculated only based on trades in physical, tangible goods.

슬롯사이트œHistory and facts have proven that the United States' increase in tariffs will not solve its own problems,슬롯사이트� said the statement from the Chinese commerce ministry. "Instead, it will trigger sharp fluctuations in financial markets, push up US inflation pressure, weaken the US industrial base and increase the risk of a US economic recession, which will ultimately only backfire on itself."
