In a significant escalation of the trade war, China has implemented a series of retaliatory tariffs in response to the 10% tariffs imposed by the U.S. on Chinese goods. Starting soon, Beijing will impose tariffs of up to 15% on various U.S. imports, targeting sectors like energy and automotive products. The Chinese government has expressed firm opposition to U.S. trade policies and is prepared to counteract the effects of these levies while also signaling its willingness to negotiate. Analysts suggest that China is now better equipped to handle the trade tensions, prompting a mixed reaction in global markets as investors react to the unfolding situation.
