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 July 7, 2025, President Donald Trump sent letters to 14 countries announcing new U.S. tariffs ranging from 25% to 40%, effective August 1.
- These reciprocal tariffs follow a fragile trade framework reached by Washington and Beijing in June but face renewed tensions as the August 12 deadline approaches.
- China’s official newspaper, People's Daily, condemned the tariffs as unilateral bullying, warned against sacrificing Chinese interests in deals, and opposed sideline agreements altering supply chains.
- The tariffs affect imports from several countries including South Korea, Japan, and Vietnam, with Vietnam obtaining a reduction from 46% to 20%; however, products routed through Vietnam but originating in China are subject to a 40% tariff.
- China will respond resolutely if Washington proceeds unilaterally, making the trade dispute's outcome uncertain and raising prospects of renewed tariff escalations.
