Economic Update – Ongoing Developments
The Chinese Finance Ministry has announced that additional customs duties on American goods will take effect on March 10.
Reports indicate that Beijing is formulating countermeasures that will include the imposition of tariffs and various other procedures, with American agricultural and food products likely to be included in this list.
In a reciprocal move, US President Donald Trump has outlined plans to implement a 10% tariff on Chinese goods starting March 4.
In reaction to these developments, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce reaffirmed its commitment to protecting its legitimate rights and interests. The ministry expressed hopes that the United States will refrain from compounding existing errors and will instead return to a constructive dialogue to resolve differences promptly.
It is important to note that President Trump has previously enacted tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China, which include additional 10% fees on Chinese goods, adding to pre-existing duties.
