According to the Treasury Ministry of the People’s Republic of China, China has announced 84% tariffs on all imports from the United States effective from April 10, 2025 in a dramatic escalation of trade tensions.
The move directly corresponds to the US increasing its own tariffs on China’s exports from 34% to 84% a day ago.
The Customs Committee of the State Affairs Committee under China’s Treasury Department described US actions as “unilateral bullying” and “economic bullying,” accusing Washington of violating international trade rules and undermining global economic stability.
Citing the country’s laws and international principles, China highlighted the legal basis for retaliation, urging the United States to cancel what is called “wrong practices” and return to the negotiation table.
This tariff war shows a new low in US-China trade relations, with both sides imposing almost condemn tariffs on each other’s goods. The global market responded quickly to news, Bitcoin (BTC), which is often seen as a hedge against geopolitical turmoil.
