China reaches out to others for support against US as Trump adds tariffs

China is reaching out to other nations as the US layers on more tariffs, in what appears to be an attempt by Beijing to form a united front to compel Washington to retreat. Days into the effort, it's meeting only partial success from countries unwilling to ally with the main target of President Donald Trump's trade war. Facing the cratering of global markets, Trump on Wednesday backed off his tariffs on most nations for 90 days, saying countries were lining up to negotiate more favorable conditions. China has refused to seek talks, saying the US was insincere and that it will fight to the end in a tariff war, prompting Trump to further jack up the tax rate on Chinese imports to 125%. China has retaliated with tariffs on US goods of 84%, which took effect Thursday. Trump's move was seemingly an attempt to narrow what had been an unprecedented trade war between the US and most of the world to a showdown between the US and China. China has thus far focused on Europe, with a phone call

China accuses US of protectionism, economic bullying with new tariffs

China on Monday accused the US of unilateralism, protectionism and economic bullying with tariffs, while calling on representatives of American companies including Tesla, to take concrete actions to resolve the tariffs. Putting America First over international rules harms the stability of global production and the supply chain and seriously impacts the world's economic recovery, Foreign Affairs spokesperson Lin Jian told reporters. Last week, Trump put an additional 34% tariff on Chinese goods as part of Liberation Day, coming on top of two rounds of 10% tariffs already declared in February and March, which Trump said was due to Beijing's role in the fentanyl crisis. China and other governments retaliated quickly. China announced its own 34% tariff rate on US goods, mirroring Trump's tariff rate for China. On Monday, Beijing struck a note of confidence even as markets in Hong Kong and Shanghai tumbled. The People's Daily, the Communist Party's official mouthpiece, had strong words.
