US EditionChina Warns Trump on Tariffs, Threatens Retaliation on Supply Chain Deals
CHINA, JUL 8 – China warned the U.S. against reinstating tariffs and threatened retaliation towards countries excluding it from supply chains, with U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods averaging 51.1%, the Peterson Institute said.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump began notifying Asian countries through form letters that higher U.S. tariffs ranging from 25% to 40% would take effect on August 1, 2025.
- This action follows a fragile trade framework agreed by Washington and Beijing in June, with China given until August 12 to reach a deal preventing further tariff reinstatements.
- China’s official newspaper, People’s Daily, criticized the tariffs as "bullying" and warned it would respond resolutely against any deals sacrificing Chinese interests or cutting China out of supply chains.
- Trump’s tariffs threaten countries like South Korea, Japan, Thailand, and Malaysia with levies from 25% to 40%, while Apple faces pressure to shift manufacturing to the U.S. and diversify supply chains amid these escalating trade tensions.
- The tariff notifications and Chinese warnings set the stage for a possible renewed trade war if no agreement is reached by August 12, potentially disrupting global supply chains and economic relations.
