China sticks to its guns as fresh US tariff threat pushes tensions to the brink

China's Response to U.S. Tariffs: China has vowed to "fight to the end" against President Trump's proposed additional tariffs, which could raise total U.S. duties on Chinese goods to 104%. The Chinese government and citizens express strong opposition to these tariffs, viewing them as detrimental to China's economic development.

Impact on Trade Relations: The escalating tariffs are straining U.S.-China trade relations, with analysts suggesting that further increases may lead to a battle of wills rather than economics. As a result, China is seeking to bolster its economy through domestic support while shifting focus to other markets like Europe.
