Chinese manufacturers have seen a surge in orders in February as importers rushed to beat the higher U.S. tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. The tariff on imports from China has increased from 10% to 20%, with the elimination of the exemption for imports worth less than $800. This move has impacted companies that relied on online sales to consumers.
The Global Times reported that Beijing is considering retaliatory measures, including tariffs and non-tariff actions, to counter Trump's policies. The Chinese Foreign Ministry has affirmed that China will take necessary steps to protect its rights and interests.
