China has vowed to fight to the “bitter end” in a trade war with the US, announcing up to 15 per cent tariffs on American imports.
Beijing had threatened to impose countermeasures and reiterated its firm opposition after Trump announced additional 10 per cent levies on Chinese imports. The levies imposed on US products will be implemented from 10 March, the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council said on Tuesday, shortly after Trump's tariffs took effect.
