Radical tariffs imposed by the president of the United States, Donald Trump, followed by China’s counter-tariffs, have submerged world markets in agitation and caused a world commercial war. While China continues to resist US tariffs, it has also resorted to India to “be together” to overcome difficulties.
Commercial tensions between the United States and China intensified sharply in the days of agitation after Trump imposed 34% of reciprocal tariffs on Chinese products, whom Beijing responded with a 34% counter-tarifas in global markets. Annoying, Trump promised additional tariffs of 50% if China does not withdraw its reprisal plans.
Criticism of the United States movement, Yu Jing, the spokesman for the Chinese embassy in India, said that China’s economy was backed by a system that ensures that constant growth and the country is a strong defender of economic globalization and multilatery.
“The economic and commercial relationship of China-India is based on complementarity and mutual benefit. Facing the abuse of the tariffs of the United States, which deprives the countries, the countries of the Global South or their right to dopment, the difficulties of the Council,” he said in a statement.

Yu also said that all countries should defend the principles of extensive consultation, practice true multilatery, jointly oppose all forms of unilaterism and protectionism, and added that commercial wars and rates have no winners.
The American-China Commercial War is intensified
Trump had slapped 10% of import tariffs on all much higher nations and levies in import imports in specific countries, including 26% rates in Indian exports. However, India does not plan to return the tariffs and is working towards a bilateral commercial agreement of India-United States mutually beneficial.
However, the commercial war between the United States and China intensified sharply when Trump announced a 104% tariff in all goods imported from China, with the measure scheduled for midnight on Tuesday, April 8, confirmed the White House.
Trump’s team said that the decision aims to “level the playing field” as president, in recent weeks, accused nations worldwide of “looting the United States” with tariffs on US exports.
On Monday, Trump criticized China for ignoring the previous warnings against the issuance of retaliation tariffs, saying that any action would be with “immediately and substantially higher” tariffs. Hey also said that all conversations with China will be over and negotiations with other countries will be carried out.
China accused the United States of “blackmail” Beijing with the renewed tariff threat, saying that I was making “an error in addition to an error.” China said he is fully prepared to counteract Washington’s rates, saying that he has continued to develop and progress the first commercial war with the first term of the duration of the United States.
Additional 34% tariffs on a 20% rate imposed on China last month took the total additional tariffs to imports of the second largest economy in the world by the Trump administration at 54%. China previously responded to American tariffs with taxes of up to 15 percent in a variety of American agricultural goods, including soybeans, pork and chicken.
