China has firmly rejected additional U.S. tariffs imposed on its goods and plans to respond with countermeasures. The Ministry of Commerce criticized the tariffs, stating they harm U.S.-China trade relations, and indicated that retaliatory actions might include tariffs on U.S. agricultural products. Following a recent round of tariffs that raises the average effective U.S. tariff rate on Chinese goods significantly, tensions between the two countries appear to be escalating.
