China warns Trump on tariffs
Beijing: China warned the Trump administration on Tuesday against reigniting trade tension by restoring tariffs on its goods next month and threatened to retaliate against nations that strike deals with the United States to cut China out of supply chains. Washington and Beijing agreed to a trade framework in June that restored a fragile truce, but with many details still unclear, traders and investors on both sides of the Pacific are watching to see if it will unravel or lead to a lasting detente. On Monday, President Donald Trump began notifying trade partners of sharply higher US tariffs from August 1, after he delayed all but 10% of his April duties on most countries to give them time to strike deals with the world's largest economy. China, initially singled out with tariffs exceeding 100%, has until August 12 to reach an agreement with the White House to keep Trump from reinstating additional import curbs imposed during tit-for-tat tariff exchanges in April and May. "One conclusion is abundantly clear: dialogue and cooperation are the only correct path," the official People's Daily said in a commentary, referring to the exchanges in the current round of China-US trade tension. The article was signed "Zhong Sheng", or "Voice of China", a term the paper uses to express views on foreign policy. Reiterating Beijing's view that Trump's tariffs amount to "bullying", the paper added, "Practice has proven that only by firmly upholding principled positions can one truly safeguard one's legitimate rights and interests." The remarks set the stage for another round of tariff war should Trump stick to what the ruling Communist Party's official daily said was "a so-called 'final deadline.'"

China warns Trump on tariffs, threatens retaliation on supply chain deals

The remarks set the stage for another round of tariff war should Trump stick to what the ruling Communist Party's official daily said was "a so-called 'final deadline'." The average US tariff on Chinese exports now stands at 51.1 per cent, while the average Chinese duty on US goods is 32.6 per cent, with both sides covering all their trade, the Peterson Institute for International Economics said. The paper also took a swipe at regional economies that are considering striking tariff reduction deals with the United States that cut China out of their supply chains. Last week, Vietnam secured a tariff reduction to 20 per cent from 46 per cent with a deal for goods "transshipped" through it, typically originating from China, to be subjected to a levy of 40 per cent. "China firmly opposes any side striking a deal that sacrifices Chinese interests in exchange for tariff concessions," the paper said. "If such a situation arises, China will not accept it and will respond resolutely to protect its legitimate interests."

China warns Trump on tariffs, threatens retaliation over supply chain deals
BEIJING: China issued a stern warning to the Trump administration on Tuesday, cautioning against reigniting trade tensions by restoring tariffs on Chinese goods next month. The country also threatened to retaliate against nations that strike agreements with the US to exclude China from supply chains. The warning comes as Washington and Beijing navigate a fragile trade truce established in June, with many details still unresolved. Traders and investors remain uncertain whether the agreement will hold or collapse under renewed pressure. President Donald Trump recently notified trade partners of impending tariff hikes starting August 1, following a temporary delay on most of his April duties. China, initially facing tariffs exceeding 100%, has until August 12 to negotiate a deal with the White House to avoid additional import restrictions. 'Dialogue and cooperation are the only correct path,' stated China's official People's Daily in a commentary. The article, signed under the pseudonym 'Zhong Sheng' (Voice of China), reiterated Beijing's stance that Trump's tariffs constitute 'bullying.' The commentary emphasised that upholding principled positions is essential to safeguarding national interests. It also criticized regional economies considering tariff reduction deals with the US that sideline China in supply chains. Vietnam recently secured a tariff reduction from 46% to 20% for goods transshipped through its territory, many of which originate from China. Beijing warned that it would 'respond resolutely' to any agreements that compromise its interests. The Peterson Institute for International Economics noted that the average US tariff on Chinese exports is now 51.1%, while China's average duty on US goods stands at 32.6%. - Reuters
