China’s reaction to the imposition of 10 percent of the tariffs on Chinese goods by US President Donald Trump.

They entered into force at 05:01 GMT on Tuesday, and moments later, the Ministry of Finance in China Declare 15 percent of the customs tariffs will impose on imports of American liquid gas (LNG), coal, 10 percent of oil fees, agricultural equipment and some cars.

In addition, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce and its general customs administration said that Beijing will begin to impose export controls on some rare ground minerals and minerals in the prosperous American technology industry and the green energy industry. China has also announced measures against some American companies.

On Monday, China set a start date for its counter -economic measures, although it has already been subjected to American definitions. Trump is expected to speak on the phone with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week.

During the first period of Trump as president, China and the United States also launched an economic war in the form of a tariff of the two nipples that raised the global economy. This time, Trump said it imposed a tariff on China on its role in the flow of fentanel, which is strong artificial philosophers, to the United States.

So what are the effects of China’s tariff against the United States? And what can tell us the example of Trump’s similar moves against Mexico and Canada about the possible repercussions of China’s refute?

What happened with Canada and Mexico, and how does it apply to China?

Saturday, on the same day Trump Declared definitions In China, it was also announced that the United States will impose a 25 percent tariff on the goods coming to the United States from its neighbors, Canada and Mexico.

In addition to the charge of ignoring the flow of fentanel to the United States, he also accused the two neighboring countries of not doing enough to stop the undocumented immigration to the United States on their borders.

Canada and Mexico in Brucekumi, similar to China, responded: Mexican President Claudia Xinbum has immediately requested a revenge customs tariff while Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that his country would put conformity to tariffs by 25 percent over nearly $ 100 billion in American goods.

The rhetoric and threats made by the leaders of the three countries escalated until Monday when Trump received calls with both Trudeau and Shinbaum, after which he announced that he had agreed to a temporary stop for 30 days before the definitions entered.

Trudeau and Shanbaum said, for their part, that they had agreed to strengthen efforts to enforce their borders.

Why does China impose a customs tariff only from Monday?

As Trump’s call to Xi Lolloy, the Chinese president seems to give diplomacy an opportunity to work as it did in the cases of Canada and Mexico, according to Lin Song, chief economist in China in the Dutch financial company.

“Delaying the application of the customs tariff until February 10 will allow the leadership of the higher level to meet before that, which still creates an opportunity for both sides to retract the brink of the abyss and calm the situation.”

But Julian Chase, a professor at the University of Hong Kong, specialized in international economic law, said that many will depend on the United States and how Trump looks at China’s decision to threaten retaliatory definitions.

“If Trump sees this direct challenge, his administration can respond with additional commercial restrictions. This would intensify the conflict.”

What has China threatened to do?

If diplomacy, China, the world’s largest energy consumer, fails, its threats to revenge, the United States will strike definitions on liquefied natural gas, coal and raw oil in any song called “a reasonable response”.

China organizations in Antimonopoly also announced investigations in Google in Alphabet, while PVH Corp, the Holding Company for brands including Calvin Klein, and the Illumina Biotechnology Company in the list of potential companies that can target sanctions.

Also, electric trucks imported from the United States will be hit with a 10 percent tariff, which may affect Trump’s ally Elon Musk, which promotes electric trucks in China.

China’s movement to reduce the export of minerals and minerals used in things such as electronics, military equipment and solar panels comes at a time when Beijing is Enhancing its hegemony On mining and processing these substances.

The new controls, which entered into force immediately and are not subject to the deadline on Monday, cover Tungsten, Tylorium, Smot, Andium, and Molbooms and their relevant products.

The Chinese Ministry of Trade said this measure is “the protection of national security interests.”

While the controls stop the direct ban, exports are likely to decrease sharply with companies’ stampede for export licenses, a process that takes about six weeks. It is not clear whether American importers will qualify for licenses.

“He responded to an equal footing but differently from 2018,” said Gary Ng, a senior economist at the Investment Bank in Natsisce in Hong Kong, in reference to the tariff warfare in which the two countries participated during Trump 2017. -2021 The first term.

“This time, it is a mixture of tariffs on targeted products, controlling export and restrictions on marketing. This means that China uses its role as one of the largest markets and producers in the world to bargain with the United States.”

What are the possible repercussions of China’s response?

Song said that China’s movements against American imports target a relatively small percentage of the total goods brought from the United States, adding that Ingitary accounts put this number by 10 to 12 percent based on data 2024.

The United States is a relatively small source of crude oil of China, which represents 1.7 percent of its imports last year and its value is about $ 6 billion. It imported 230,540 barrels per day from the United States in 2024, a 52 percent decrease from the same period in 2023.

Customs data showed that about 5.4 percent of Chinese LNG imports come from the United States, with a total of 4.16 million tons last year and worth $ 2.41 billion. China bought about 10 percent of LNG exports in the United States last year.

However, these liquefied natural gas purchases are almost double what it was in 2018, the last time that the United States and China went to the soles of the soles of a commercial war.

The United States is not a major coal source for China. American export data showed that only 6.4 percent of American coal production goes to China.

The materials that have placed the export restrictions on the ability to hit the United States more strongly.

Tungstin is used to produce things such as artillery shells, shield paint and cutting tools due to their severe hardness.

About 60 percent of the United States consumes tanguel is heading towards tungsten carbid, used in construction, minerals, and oil and gas drilling. China produced about 80 percent of the global show in 2023.

Also in this list, there is embarrassment in producing phone and television screens, Tellurium, BIMUTH and Milebdenum, essential for things like metal work.

China is one of the major producers in all these materials in the world, as it set the American pain and clean energy sectors.
