China has announced an 84% tariff on goods imported from the United States in retaliation for new levies imposed by the White House. This increase, up from the previous 34%, comes in response to the implementation of a 104% tariff on Chinese goods by US President Donald Trump.

The new tariffs are set to take effect from Thursday.

Beijing has called on the international community to unite against Trump’s tariffs, as Chinese exporters face significant challenges from the new levies.

In 2024, the US imported approximately $440 billion worth of goods and services from China, while China imported around $145 billion in goods and services from the US.
