Beijing's measures come in the wake of duties imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration earlier this week.
  • China’s finance ministry on Friday said it will impose a 34% tariff on all goods imported from the U.S. starting on April 10.
  • The ministry criticized Washington’s decision to impose 34% of additional reciprocal levies on China — bringing total U.S. tariffs against the country to 54% — as “inconsistent with international trade rules.”
  • U.S. stock futures and European markets fell sharply on news of the reciprocal tariffs.

      Origjnal comment was reported, probably for the whole “Taiwan isn’t a recognized country”. As noted, that’s largely a true statement.

        Oh I see what you’re saying now. Yes, I am saying if you’re going to argue against my China doesn’t militarily support actions by other countries against sovereign nations, then you can’t use Taiwan as an example to counter my point as other countries do not recognize Taiwan.
