In response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s imposition of 104% tariffs on Chinese imports, Beijing has implemented several countermeasures:
-
Increased Tariffs on U.S. Goods: China raised tariffs on U.S. imports to 84%, targeting a wide range of products.
-
Export Controls and Regulatory Measures: Beijing is utilizing non-tariff tools such as export controls on essential materials and heightened regulatory scrutiny of American companies.
-
Unreliable Entity List Expansion: The Chinese government has expanded its “unreliable entity list,” adding U.S. firms like PVH and Illumina, restricting their operations within China.

WTO Complaint: China has filed a complaint against the U.S. at the World Trade Organization, alleging violations of global trade rules.
Chinese officials have expressed strong opposition to the U.S. tariffs, emphasizing their readiness to “fight to the end” unless fair negotiations are pursued. They argue that the U.S. measures harm both economies and have urged for dialogue to resolve the escalating trade tensions.
