China has imposed tariffs on some American imports, including crude oil, agricultural machinery and liquefied natural gas.
CNN reports that the development is in retaliation for the
President Donald Trump’s administration’s imposition of 10% tariffs on Chinese
imports into the United States.
According to the report, the measures were announced by
China’s Ministry of Finance on Tuesday.
This include a 15% duty on certain types of coal and
liquefied natural gas and a 10% tariff on crude oil, agricultural machinery,
large-displacement cars and pickup trucks.
Chinese government said that the measures take effective on
February 10.
Tariffs announced by the United States under Trump came into
effect on Saturday.
Beijing had slammed those tariffs in a statement Sunday and
vowed to “resolutely defend its rights” by filing a complaint with the World
Trade Organization and taking “corresponding countermeasures.”
