Fri Apr 11 08:45:18 UTC 2025: ## China Retaliates Against US Tariffs with 125% Levy
**Beijing, April 11, 2025** – China has significantly escalated its trade war with the United States, raising additional tariffs on US imports to 125%. This move comes in direct response to the Trump administration’s 145% levy on Chinese goods.
The Chinese Commerce Ministry announced the increased tariffs, citing the US actions as justification. Previously, China had imposed 84% tariffs in retaliation. Beyond the tariff increase, China has also filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization (WTO) and implemented restrictions on US film imports. While expressing a willingness to engage in dialogue with Washington, China’s actions underscore the escalating tensions between the two economic superpowers. No other country has retaliated against the Trump administration’s tariffs in a similar fashion. The dispute continues to generate considerable economic and political uncertainty.
