CHINA again vowed to “fight to the end” today in a trade war with the United States as it announced it would raise tariffs on US goods to 84 per cent from tomorrow.
Beijing also added an array of countermeasures after US President Donald Trump raised the total tariff on imports from China to 104 per cent.
Beijing said it was launching an additional case against the US at the World Trade Organisation and placed further restrictions on US companies’ trade with Chinese firms.
