China Slaps 15% Extra Duty On Imports From US

By raising tariffs, the US has repaid kindness with enmity: China

- 

CHINA responded to new U.S. tariffs by announcing Tuesday it will impose additional tariffs of up to 15% on imports of key US farm products, including chicken, pork, soy and beef, and expanded controls on doing business with key US companies.

The tariffs announced by the Commerce Ministry will take effect from March 10, though goods already in transit will be exempt until April 12. They follow US President Donald Trump's order to raise tariffs on imports of Chinese products to 20% across the board. A range of Chinese goods were already subject to 10-25% tariffs levied by Trump during his first term.
