China to raise retaliatory tariffs on US goods to 125%

China hits back at Donald Trump, raising tariffs on US goods to 125% from 84% as the Asian and US markets plunge.

This follows the US president announcing a 90-day pause on additional tariffs for most countries but raised those on China to 145%, a move which Beijing has described as "trade blackmail".

China is proper sovereign state with balls of steel

I like the maturity in CHINA's response

China also says on the statement ：“Even if the US continues to impose higher tariffs, it will no longer make economic sense and will become a joke in the history of world economy. At the current tariff level, there is no market acceptance for US goods exported to China. If the US continues to play the tariff numbers game, China will ignore it.”😂

I'm British and given the choice of US or China products, I always choose Chinese. Phones are better, cars are better, computers are better.

Bravo China, never surrender your sovereignty.

I am absolutely fed-up with ABC keep saying that Australia would have to choose who to side with eventually. Why? Australia is a country, we should make our own path and served our own interests. Why would we have to choose. Everyone else is guests and all offers are on the table. Stop running around America like a bunch of cheerleaders.

Trump is still waiting for Xi to call😂😂

I am a small business owner in Jiangsu, China. Due to Trump’s tariff policies, we are set to lose 70% of our U.S. business. However, we still have over 100 employees to support. Fortunately, the capital we’ve accumulated over the past decade is sufficient to cover four years’ worth of salaries. We will use these four years to explore new markets together with our entire team. We will never abandon a single employee, because I firmly believe that the Chinese people are unbreakable!

5000years ago, we faced floods alongside Egypt. 4000years ago, we learned bronze working with the Babylonians.
3000years ago, we pondered philosophy like the Greeks.
2000years ago, we were as invincible as the Romans.
1000years ago, we prospered alongside the Arabs. China has never left the world stage - only the players across the table have changed!

Finally, the US has met its peer competitor. Way to go, CHINA!

Mao Zedong's comment on the Korean War (original words): "I don't think we should make a decision on how long we want to fight. In the past, it was up to Truman, in the future it will be up to Eisenhower, or some future president of the United States, they will make the decision. We will fight for as long as they want, until we achieve complete victory

Trump: 75 countries are kissing my asses
Xi: I'm kicking your asses

There is an old Chinese saying that is: It is better to die for the sound than to live in silence.

Damn these “peasants” sure know how to negotiate! 😅😅😅😅
