China announced on Friday that it will impose a 34% rate on imports from all US products from April 10, part of a series of retaliatory measures after the US President Trump’s two-digit-digit series of “Liberation Day”.
The new rate corresponds to the US “reciprocal” rate of “reciprocal” tariff of 34% of Chinese exports Trump ordered this week.
The Ministry of Commerce in Beijing also said in a statement that it will impose more rare land export controls, which are materials used in high -tech products such as computer chips and electric vehicle batteries.
Included in the list of minerals subject to control was the Samario and its compounds, which are used in aerospace manufacturing and the defense sector. Another element called gadolinium is used in magnetic resonance imaging.
China’s customs administration said it has suspended chicken imports from some US suppliers after detecting pierzolidone, a forbidden drug in China, in shipping these companies.
Separately, he said he found high levels of mold on sorghum and salmonella in the poultry meat of some of the companies. Ads affect a sorghum exporting company, C&D Inc., and four poultry companies.
In addition, the Chinese government said it has added 27 companies to the lists of companies subject to commercial sanctions or export controls.
Among them, 16 are subject to prohibition of export of “double use” goods. High Point Aerotechnologies, a defense technology company, and Universal Logistics Holding, a public transport and logistics company, were among the listed.
Beijing also announced that he filed a lawsuit at the World Trade Organization on the rate of tariffs.
“The imposition by the United States of the so -called ‘reciprocal tariffs’ seriously violates WTO rules, seriously undermines the legitimate rights and interests of WTO members and seriously undermines the rules -based multilateral trade system and the international economic and commercial order,” said the Ministry of Commerce.
“It is a typical practice of unilateral intimidation that endangers the stability of the global economic and commercial order. China firmly opposes it,” he said.
Other actions include the launch of an anti -monopoly investigation into DuPont China Group Co., a subsidiary of the multinational chemistry giant, and an anti -dumping investigation on X -ray tubes and computed tomography tubes for US and India imported tomography.
In February, China announced a 15% rate on charcoal imports and US liquefied natural gas products. Separately, she added a 10% tariff over gross oil, agricultural machinery and large cars.
Dozens of American companies are subject to trade and investment controls, while many other Chinese companies face similar limits in negotiations with US companies.
The latest rates apply to all products manufactured in the US, according to a statement by the Ministry of Finance Council’s Tariff Committee.
Although friction in the commercial front is increasing, relationships in general are slightly less conflicting.
US and China military authorities met this week for the first time when Trump took office in January to share military security concerns in the seas. The conversations held Wednesday and Thursday in Shanghai aimed to minimize the risk of problems, both sides said.
