China released four lists of goods. One for new 25 percent tariffs, one for new 20 percent tariffs, one for new 10 percent tariffs and one for new 5 percent tariffs. The tit-for-tat tariffs are expected to go into effect on August 23rd. We will keep you updated as more details are announced.
China’s Ministry of Commerce spokesperson explained China’s counter-measures on US$16 billion from US imports:
“The US decided to impose a 25% tariff on the US$16 billion Chinese exports to the United States from August 23, and once again overriding domestic law over international law is a very unreasonable practice. In order to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests and the multilateral trading system, the Chinese side had to make the necessary counter-measures and decided to impose a 25% tariff on US$16 billion from US imports and implement it in parallel with the US.”
The news comes a day after the U.S. Trade Representative’s office (USTR) announced that The United States will begin collecting 25% tariffs on another $16 billion in Chinese goods starting Aug. 23.
Chinese products that the US is targeting encompass 279 product lines, which include semiconductors, electronics, plastics, chemicals, and railway equipment. The USTR specifically selected these commodities because they benefit from the Chinese Government’s “Made in China 2025” initiative to spur Chinese innovation and competitiveness in technological industries.
