US-China trade war: New wave of tariffs take effect

Tensions between China and the United States keep escalating, as a new round of tariffs on both countries’ exports will come into effect in a few hours.
China says it will not back down and has raised import taxes on $75bn worth of American goods after Trump increased duties on $300bn worth of Chinese goods.

The 2 most patriotic country's in the world having a trade war, such a bad combination. They both blinded by how "great" they are

[hugosuar]

people thinks american fruit are very healthy, however it's not as good as it seems, coz american fruits don't have quality control like y'all think.😂😂🤣

[henry-heln]

As an ancient country China may not give in to a young bully.

[retnos]

Stop quarreling like kids! Both are suffering from the tariff, no one is better (I'm just an outsider who concerns about this matter)

[tababery]

Good let them raise tariffs on all these products make them cheaper for us

The woman at 30 seconds made more sense than the other lady interviewed. It is better to buy local food stuff, than international. Cannot beat the quality, plus less shipping cost incorporated in the final price.

I have never seen such large cherrys, are those GMO ?

What will these tariffs do? Annoy China and harm the US economy? China has lots of money and reserves and wouldn't be so easily intimidated with these actions. America however has trillions of dollars in debt and this action could hurt the economy even more. You can't go to war against China if you have no funding

The report saying chinese are not affected in this trade war.. America is just starting...

Interesting. Do Americans pay the tariffs or is this a Chinese cost as Trump argues? The Chinese have offset most of the tariffs by lowering the cost importers pay for Chinese goods through subsidies and also through currency manipulation. If the Chinese give you money to pay the tariffs (through subsidies and currency manipulation) is it correct to argue that importers are paying the tariffs? Technically yes, but not really as a lot of your costs are offset by these lower costs. Also these same companies pay lower labor costs, no environmental costs, no union costs, no labor benefits, etc. So part of the tariffs are paid by importers though expect many importers to raise prices (using the argument that they are now paying tariffs) passing the FULL tariff cost to the American consumer and blame Trump when they are not paying this full cost. Also ask yourself did the U.S. importer lower prices for American consumers when Trump dropped their ANNUAL tax rate by 40%? No, of course not.

Foods prices in China is higher than in Japan. Surprised.

[jaishi...]

No American fruits anymore for Chinese. .. 😊😊....farmers will complain again ....😂

Wonderful! Keep up the Tariffs on the Chinese. Level the playing field. Hopefully companies will move to another country or better yet, bring your company back here to USA! We stand with you President Trump!!

We just don't want your copies;
Don't call me a folly,
As you might just be silly.
How can we party,
When we argue about money?🙄😎😣
Let's write something funny,
Get rewards of penny.😀🤣😂

I really want to see which country is stronger? you all know it's not the tariff, it's the agenda behind the tariff. So far I see that EU, England, Australia, French, and a lot of countries supporting U.S's agenda.

Why don't you buy cherries from Pakistan? I would say one of the best in taste and cheaply available in northern areas of Pakistan...the only issue with them is you need a proper storage and packaging...

[darmanhashim]

do u know how is expensive cherry in usa. now they are going to be cheaper

[bennybenny]

Yes Chinese food are greater than god

Chinese are very clean and pure
Chinese leaders all are Mohammed. Prophet

[kuethao]

Tariffs are hurting both countries but the current China/US deal is too favorable for China. It's needs to be closer to a 50/50 deal or like Trump says we need to do business in other counties. If China can't be more fair then let see who's got the better economy, let go Trade War...

[NewsKenya]

Why don't they make and consume plastic ones they offer us cheaply?
