China is refusing to back down in the face of President Donald Trump’s threat to impose even higher tariffs on Chinese products, vowing to “fight to the end” of the escalating trade war between the world’s two largest economies.
“If the U.S. proceeds with implementing these escalated tariff measures, China will resolutely take countermeasures to safeguard its own rights and interests,” a spokesperson for China’s Commerce Ministry said Tuesday. “If the U.S. insists on going its own way, China will fight to the end.”
The ministry also called Trump’s threat to escalate tariffs against China “a mistake on top of a mistake” which exposes “the American side’s blackmailing nature,” according to Reuters.
