China erhöht US-Importzölle um 50 Prozentpunkte: Pekings Gegenschlag

China's Retaliation

In response to increased US tariffs on Chinese goods, China announced a 50 percent tariff increase on all US imports. This follows a previous 34 percent increase by China.

Criticism of the US

China's government strongly criticized the US's actions, stating they violated China's rights and harmed the multilateral trade system.

Escalation of the Trade War

The trade war shows no signs of ending, and anticipation builds regarding Trump's response to China's measures. China also plans to file a complaint with the World Trade Organization (WTO).

Further Actions by China

• Twelve US companies added to the list of unreliable entities, restricting access to Chinese suppliers.
• Travel warning issued by the Chinese tourism ministry advising citizens against travel to the US.
• Warnings issued against studying in the US.

These actions are attributed to the US companies allegedly supplying weapons to Taiwan.

Global Economic Impact

Experts predict significant negative consequences for the global economy due to the trade war's escalation.

China Seeks New Partners

Amid strained US-China relations, China is actively seeking new trade partners and markets, although no Asian country can replace the US as China's largest export market.
