China vowed to take "all necessary countermeasures" after US President Donald Trump announced plans to impose an additional 10% tariff on Chinese imports.

This new tariff is set to take effect on Tuesday, alongside a broader 25% levy on imports from Canada and Mexico, further escalating the ongoing trade war between the world's two largest economies.

The blame game

In response to Trump’s claims that Beijing is contributing to a deadly fentanyl crisis in the United States, a spokesperson from China’s commerce ministry accused Washington of "shifting the blame."

The statement emphasized that "China is one of the countries with the strictest and most thorough anti-narcotics policy in the world" and criticized the US for "always ignoring these facts."

The spokesperson warned that if the US "insists on going its own way," China will take "all necessary countermeasures to defend its legitimate rights and interests."

The statement also cautioned that the tariff hike "is not conducive to solving [the United States'] own problems" and would "increase the burden on American companies and consumers, and undermine the stability of the global industrial chain."
