The Chinese Ministry of Finance said – Friday – that Beijing will impose customs duties by 125% on American goods as of tomorrow, Saturday, an increase of 84% that it announced earlier.
It increases the severity of a commercial war that warns of the disturbance of supply chains around the world.
Beijing confirmed that it would “ignore” any additional fees that the US President Donald Trump’s administration might impose.
The increase came after the White House continued to pressure the second largest economy in the world and the second largest source of the United States by announcing additional customs duties, although most of the “anti -anti -” fees previously imposed on dozens of countries.
The White House said yesterday that the large increase in customs duties imposed by Trump on Chinese goods, and entered into force Thursday, raises the additional definitions imposed by Washington on Beijing to the level of 145%.
Violation of the rules of the international neighbor
“The United States imposing unnaturally elevated customs duties on China, which is seriously violating international trade rules and basic economic laws,” said in a statement published by the State Council of State in Beijing, and added that the new fees enter into force on Saturday.
China considered that the United States should take full responsibility for the acute turmoil in the global economy due to the economic war that Trump launched by increasing customs duties.
A spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said that the US definitions were attached to “the current global economy, global markets and multiple exchange systems, dangerous shocks and severe turmoil.”
He added that “the United States should bear full responsibility for that,” and stressed that the customs duties imposed by Washington on Chinese products “have become a game of numbers that have no practical importance in the economy.”
He also said that this “will only expose the coercion of the United States … will become laughing.”
The Chinese official media also reported that Beijing filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization against the new definitions.
Beijing says that the freezing of US customs duties came after “pressure from China.”
The White House order shows that Trump’s decision to suspend new customs duties on dozens of countries for 90 days entered into force, but in return, new customs duties on Chinese imports were raised to 125%.
This number is added to an additional fee of 20% imposed earlier in the year, thus reaching the total customs duties imposed by Trump on Chinese products this year to 145%.
