“You will fight to the end”: China warns of comprehensive revenge, as Trump threatens the new tariffs by a new 50 %.

A new tariff confrontation between Washington and Beijing escalates quickly, with China warning that it will “fight to the end” if the United States moved forward with additional penal measures.

On Tuesday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian issued a sharp response to the latest threat to former US President Donald Trump to impose a 50 % tariff on Chinese goods. “If the United States insists on launching an introductory war or a commercial war, China will fight to the end,” he said, as tensions over the retaliatory moves by both sides have erupted.

The Ministry of Commerce said that the “imposition” of the so -called “mutual definitions” in the United States “in China” is completely unfounded and it is a single -sided exercise. “The ministry quoted it as saying:” The counter -measures taken by China aim to protect its interests, security and development, and to maintain the natural international trade matter. It is completely legitimate. “

She added: “The American threat to escalate the definitions of China is a mistake in addition to a mistake, and the nature of the blackmail of China in the United States again will never accept it.

On Monday, Trump in fact announced that China has imposed “34 % revenge tariff, in addition to already standard definitions, non -cash drivers, illegal calls for companies, and long -term currency processing.” He warned that unless China withdraws the last 34 % increase on April 8, the United States will respond with “an additional tariff for China by 50 %, as of April 9.”

“Any country that is missing from the United States by issuing an additional tariff … It will immediately meet a new tariff and a large extent,” Trump wrote. He also announced the freezing of talks with China, saying: “All talks will be completed with China regarding its required meetings with us!”

Facing the growing tariff comes as the Chinese economy continues to face pressure from weak local consumption and the housing market crisis.

Beijing set a modest goal of 5 % of GDP for 2025, amid external and inner winds.

According to Larry, he is the Chinese Chinese Economist at the Macquari Investment Bank, Trump’s tariff of 34 % can fly 2 to 2.5 percentage points of GDP growth in China. He wrote in a research note, as reported by South China Morning Post.

The new 34 % customs tariffs bring the total Trump novels on Chinese exports to 54 %, including previous duties of his first term. China has responded with its definitions by 34 % on US exports, targeting American agricultural products in particular.

In 2024, China’s exports to the United States amounted to $ 438 billion, while it imported $ 143 billion of goods from the United States. As the TIT-FOR-TAT measures are escalated, analysts warn that economic repercussions may exceed both countries.
