The latest news shows that after Trump's tariffs were increased to 104%, a crazier follow-up has come.On April 9, local time, Trump posted another post on social platforms, announcing that tariffs on imported goods to China will be raised from 104% to 125%, and will take effect immediately.He also said that the move was a response to the "lack of respect" shown by China in the global market.At the same time, the implementation of "reciprocal tariffs" was suspended for 90 days on 75 trading partner countries, and the tax rate was reduced to 10%.
This new "one plus one stop" policy shows that the Trump administration's tariff strategy has undergone a major shift - from a global "peer-to-peer tariff" war, the firepower is concentrated to China.Before this, on the evening of April 9, the General Administration of Customs issued No. 58 of 2025 (Announcement on Implementation of Tariff Measures for Imported Tariffs on Imported Goods Originating in the United States).According to the announcement, from 12:01 on April 10, 2025, 84% tariff will be imposed on all imported goods originating from the United States on the basis of the current applicable tariff rate.
On April 10, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian presided over a regular press conference in response to the US imposing 125% tariffs on China.Lin Jian said that for its own selfishness, the US uses tariffs as a weapon for extreme pressure and self-interest, seriously infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of all countries, seriously violates the rules of the World Trade Organization, seriously damages the rules-based multilateral trading system, and seriously impacts the stability of the global economic order. This is a blatant act of taking the world's biggest conspiracy and opposes the entire world.Taking necessary countermeasures to oppose the bullying of the United States is not only to safeguard its own sovereignty, security, and development interests, but also to safeguard international fairness and justice, the multilateral trading system, and the common interests of the international community.If you have the Tao, you will have many helps, but if you lose the Tao, you will have few helps.The United States' rebellious actions will end in failure.I want to emphasize again that there are no winners in tariff wars and trade wars.China is unwilling to fight, but it is not afraid of fighting.We will never sit idly by and watch the legitimate rights and interests of the Chinese people be deprived, and we will never sit idly by and watch international economic and trade rules and multilateral trading systems be destroyed.If the US insists on fighting a tariff war and a trade war, China will definitely accompany it to the end.The US puts its own interests above the public interests of the international community and serves the hegemony of the United States at the expense of the legitimate interests of countries around the world, which will surely be strongly opposed by the international community.At 15:00 on April 10, the Ministry of Commerce held a regular press conference.Ministry of Commerce: In the face of US bullying tariffs, China will unswervingly promote high-level opening up to the outside world.A spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce said that recently, the United States has announced the abuse of tariffs on all trading partners, including China, under various excuses, seriously infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies and seriously impacts the stability of the global economic order. China strongly condemns and firmly opposes this.As the world's second largest economy and the second largest commodity consumption market, in the face of US bullying tariffs, we will unswervingly promote high-level opening up to the outside world, unswervingly follow our own path, and inject more certainty into the global economy with our own stable development.Finally, everyone may be a little confused when the tariff pull back and forth, so they briefly sorted out the entire process of China and the United States on tariff pulling in the past week.(Compiled based on public information) April 3: The United States upgrades tariffs on China.The Trump administration announced an additional "reciprocal" tariffs on the world, including an additional 34% tariff on Chinese goods.April 4: China countered for the first time.China announced that it would impose a 34% tariff on all imported goods originating from the United States starting from April 10.April 7: The United States threatens: If China does not withdraw its countermeasures, the United States will impose an additional 50% tariff on China from April 9 (the total tax rate reaches 104%), and the tariffs will officially take effect on April 9.April 9: China has increased its investment for the second time, further imposing a 50% tariff and imposing an 84% tariff on the United States. The tariffs will take effect on the 10th.
