China, the country most affected by Donald Trump’s tariffs, has announced that it will impose 34% tariffs on all goods imported from the United States. The Chinese tariffs will come into effect on the 10th, according to a statement from the State Council Tariff Commission released on Friday, the 4th. In response, the US president wrote on his social media: “China played it wrong, they panicked — the one thing they can’t bear to do!” On Wednesday, the 2nd, Trump announced “reciprocal” tariffs of 34% on imports from China, which are in addition to the previous 20% tariffs already in effect. Trump’s so-called “tariff hike” affects more than 180 countries and creates an imminent trade war in the world.
