China and the United States are being imprisoned in an escalating war of words backed by the threats of new definitions before the main timing dates that threaten indulging in the unstable global economy in a deeper crisis.

The “Liberation Day” hypothesis of US President Donald Trump witnessed last Thursday that China had slapped higher tariffs on its American exports and a minimum of 10 percent of all other countries that are exported to the United States. Ads delivered the global stock market In chaos The investor’s confidence has also fallen around the world.

Beijing has ever taken revenge on its rise in customs tariffs, while other countries are scrambling to negotiate commercial deals with Washington.

But on Monday, Trump raised the temperature with China to further, as it continues to threaten more customs tariffs unless Beijing withdraws the latest fees on American goods. China replied, saying it will not back down.

the Treed measures back He continued to destabilize global stock markets this week, amid fears that the trade war may exacerbate greatly.

Here is what to know about spitting the two largest economies in the world.

What is the latest?

Last Friday, China announced an additional tariff of 34 percent of US imports, two days after Trump announced a raising identical tariff for Chinese imports.

But in a post on his social network, in fact, on Monday, Trump threatened to intensify the customs tariffs on China more if Beijing did not retract his latest drawings by Tuesday.

The new threat? A 50 percent tariff, as well as 54 percent effective American tariffs on Chinese imports.

Trump said that China announced its tariff “despite my warning that any country is missing from the United States by issuing an additional tariff … It will immediately meet a new tariff and a large extent.”

“If China does not withdraw a 34 % increase from its long -term commercial violations by tomorrow, April 8, 2025, the United States will impose an additional tariff on China by 50 %, as of April 9,” was published.

Trump also said that his administration would cancel negotiating talks, and claimed that Chinese officials had requested the definitions. He said that the talks will continue in other countries that want to negotiate.

“Negotiations with other countries, which also requested meetings, will start immediately. Thank you for your interest in this issue!” to publish.

How was China’s reaction?

In a statement on Tuesday, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce took a position, saying that Washington’s actions were “completely unfounded” and a form of “bullying”.

China motive The mutual definitions it imposed and said that it was aimed at protecting the “interests of sovereignty, security and development”, as well as preserving the balanced international trade market.

Beijing added that he was ready to “fight to the end” if Trump advanced more customs tariffs.

“The US threat to escalate the definitions of China is a mistake in addition to a mistake, and once again reveals the blackmail of the United States. China will never accept this,” she added.

What is the background for this?

Last Wednesday, Trump’s tariff ads struck almost all American commercial partners and sent the markets Tranate. Some analysts described it as “worse than the worst scenario.”

The President announced a 10 % basis tariff for all imports to the United States. He also announced much higher duties on dozens of other countries that the United States claimed taxes on its goods unfairly, describing them as “the worst criminals.”

Lesoto, the Small South African Nation, slapped the highest tariff in the list, by 50 percent.

China, the third largest commercial partner in the United States, has seen more than $ 430 billion of US imports annually, one of the highest fees by 34 percent. However, China was already burdened with the drawings that were previously placed on its exports to the United States.

Since he took office in January, Trump has imposed 10 percent of the customs tariff on Chinese goods – twice. The first was on February 1, and then, on March 4, prices were doubled. Consequently, the new announcement of a 34 percent tax last week has raised common tariffs on China to 54 percent.

If Trump benefits his threat on Tuesday, Chinese imports will be subject to a 104 percent tariff.

China also responded to the definitions imposed earlier with its own counter measures. On March 10, it announced between 10 and 15 percent of the customs tariffs on US imports. The 34 percent additional definitions announced on Friday will bring the total customs duties to the United States’ imports to 44 and 49 percent.

China also limited the exports of rare ground elements used to manufacture tools in the United States and prohibited exports of double elements that can be used for military or civil purposes for some American defense companies.

What can happen to both economics?

Experts say it seems that both countries are ready to escalate, but they are already facing the traces of the trade war.

Oil prices have decreased, interest rates decreased (the slow -price federal reserve bank must reduce prices!), Food prices are low, no inflation, and the United States of America, which has long been brought in billions of dollars per week from countries that deal with the definitions that already exist. This is it…

The customs duties came Shock Chinese companies, which the United States is a major export market for. China’s exports to the United States are mostly electrical commodities as well as vehicles. On the other hand, the United States mainly exports agricultural products, machines, aircraft and pharmaceutical preparations to China.

Analysts expect China’s markets to shrink due to US tariffs, despite Bravado’s Bravado. According to Morgan Stanley, the Chinese economy can weaken 1.5 to 2 percentage points this year.

In addition to matching identification increases, experts say China can test more revenge measures on the United States, including stopping imports of American agricultural products and restricting its critical mineral and mineral exports to the United States.

Meanwhile, American stocks witnessed a brutal closure on Monday. The S& P 500 index fell 0.2 percent, while the Dow Jones industrial average decreased 349 points, or 0.9 percent. Nasdak compound rose 0.1 percent.

The stocks briefly went up early in the day after social media users that Kevin Haysit, the Economic Adviser at the Supreme White House, said that the president was considering stopping the definitions. However, the White House post called X “Fake News”.

President Trump also ruled out a pause. In a post on Monday on X, Trump said that the United States brings “billions of dollars per week from the countries of the transaction on the already existing customs tariffs.”

He added: “This is despite the fact that the largest of all of them, China, whose markets have been disrupted, raised its tariff by 34 %, in addition to the long term in the long term (plus!), And not recognizing my warning against revenge against countries not to take revenge.”
