China Hits Back, Raises US Imports Tariffs To 84%

Chinese officials have announced a sharp increase in tariffs on goods from the US, moving from an additional 34% to an elevated 84% effective April 10, 2025. This swift decision follows an earlier move by the US government to raise its own tariffs on Chinese imports to the same rate, taking effect just after midnight.

China’s Ministry of Finance stated that these measures, approved by the State Council’s Tariff Commission, are a direct response to the latest round of American tariff hikes.

“China urges the United States to immediately correct the wrong practice, cancel all unilateral tariff measures against China, and properly resolve differences with China through equal dialogue on the basis of mutual respect,” the Tariff Commission declared.

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs indicated that officials have also been in contact with European counterparts to address what Beijing describes as “ongoing global financial turmoil.” According to multiple sources, the EU is expected to announce commensurate actions in response to the rapidly intensifying tariff standoff.

While details regarding which industries and product categories will be most affected remain sparse, analysts agree that the heightened tariffs represent a significant shift in global trade relations.
