China & WorldChina Announces 34 Percent Additional Tariff on All US Goods Effective April 10
China announced an additional 34 percent tariff on all US goods, effective April 10, as a direct countermeasure against the sweeping reciprocal tariff plan unveiled by US President Trump on April 2.
China's State Council Customs Tariff Commission announced on April 4 that it will impose an additional 34% tariff on all goods originating from the United States, effective April 10.
This move is a direct countermeasure to US President Trump's April 2 executive order announcing reciprocal tariffs on major trading partners.
The Commerce Ministry spokesperson stated that the US unilateral tariff collection violates World Trade Organization rules, and China firmly opposes this behavior and will take necessary measures.
Analysts point out that this tariff escalation will significantly impact China-US bilateral trade worth approximately $500 billion annually.
Simultaneously, China also announced export controls on 16 US defense companies and sanctions against 11 US companies and 6 individuals.
After the news was released, multiple major Asian stock markets experienced declines, with market concern about global economic outlook rising noticeably.
China's Commerce Ministry called on both sides to resolve trade differences through equal dialogue while emphasizing China's stance to defend its interests remains firm.
