DW News / Apr 10, 2025 / China is continuing to seek adequate responses as it remains the target of massive US trade tariffs despite US President Donald Trump's turnaround decision on Wednesday to pause the hefty levies he had just imposed on dozens of other countries. Trump has raised the tariff on Chinese imports to the US to 125%, up from the 104% levy that went into force on Wednesday. Beijing, in its turn, may well once more up the 84% tariffs it applied to US imports on Wednesday in retaliation to Trump's initial move. It has vowed to "fight to the end" in the trade war that is rapidly escalating between the world's two top economies.
