According to state-run Xinhua, Beijing announced it would slap 34% retaliatory tariffs on all U.S. imports starting April 10. Details were scarce at the moment.

“Chinese authorities said they will start a probe into medical CT X-ray tubes imported from the US and India, and halt imports of poultry products from two American companies,” Bloomberg noted.

The move comes two days after Trump’s tariff-a-palooza pushed the effective U.S. tariff rate on Chinese goods to 54%.

Deutsche Bank’s George Saravelos noted on Thursday that the big negative surprise this week has been the 50%+ tariff rate on China (far worse than expectations) and the key connector economy Vietnam, which affected $600bn worth of manufactured goods to the U.S. combined.

Goldman helped clients visualize this move.

On Thursday, Beijing condemned the escalating tariff war, calling it “unilateral bullying. ” It added that it “firmly opposes” the tariff war and “will resolutely take countermeasures to safeguard its own rights and interests.”

And here we are—risk assets getting hammered again on a Friday morning—as tensions between Washington and Beijing escalate sharply to end the week. Both superpowers remain locked in a stalemate over China’s subsidization of fentanyl precursor chemicals to Mexico, which has fueled the overdose death crisis in the United States.
