China has imposed retaliatory tariffs on the US, its embassy in Washington said on Sunday — hitting about $14bn worth of goods and dashing hopes that a trade war between the world's two largest economies could be avoided. Beijing announced the tariffs last week in response to a US decision to impose an additional 10 per cent levy on Chinese products, which US President Donald Trump called an "opening salvo" in a renewed trade offensive against China.

Compared with the blanket US tariffs, China's measures — which target US exports of liquefied natural gas, coal, crude oil and farm equipment as well as some automotive goods with levies of 10 per cent to 15 per cent — were seen as creating space for negotiations to avert a wide trade conflict.

Plus, these imports more heavily target Republican areas of the US. 

China bout to cripple American farmers, again, on top of them losing billions from USAID being gutted, Lol.

And unfortunately thousands of chickens being slaughtered.
