China slashes US film imports over tariffs, says open to fair dialogue

As US President Donald Trump hiked tariffs against China to 125 per cent while pausing levies on most countries, Beijing in retaliation has reduced the import of US films and called on Washington to return to fair dialogue without threats. Meanwhile, a rare survey of Chinese public opinion highlighted growing concerns of the Chinese public over the impact of the trade war on their country. The state-run China Film Administration said, The US government's erroneous practice of imposing excessive tariffs on China is likely to further diminish the Chinese audience's favourable perception of American films. We will adhere to market principles, respect audience choices and moderately reduce the import volume of American films, it said. Separately, China's Commerce Ministry spokesperson He Yongqian told a press briefing on Thursday that while Beijing remains open to talks, any dialogue must be based on mutual respect and conducted on equal footing. If the US is bent on waging a trade wa

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 vows strong response after US imposes additional 50% tariff

China on Wednesday promised to take resolute and forceful measures to safeguard its rights and interests, after net total tariffs of 104 per cent by President Donald Trump on Chinese imports into the US took effect. After Trump's additional 50 per cent tariffs on the world's second-largest economy, China has not announced any new tariffs on the US. President Trump's next round of punishing tariffs on some of America's largest trading partners went into effect on Wednesday, including stiff new levies that will increase import taxes on Chinese goods by at least 104 percent. Trump's explosive new tariffs on 60 countries came into effect just after midnight Wednesday US time. The additional tariffs on China kicked in after Beijing refused to meet Trump's deadline to withdraw its own retaliatory levies on the US. Asked why China has not slapped retaliatory tariffs after Tuesday's assertions to fight till the end and whether the two countries are holding talks to resolve the issue, Chin
