China has slammed the U.S. decision to raise tariffs on Chinese goods to 125%, calling it a “blatant act” that defies global trade norms. Beijing’s Foreign Ministry said the move undermines multilateralism and threatens global economic stability. China retaliated with 84% tariffs on U.S. imports and urged Washington to “meet halfway” for fair, respectful dialogue. The trade clash between the world’s top economies continues to escalate.
