The Chinese commies responded to convicted felon President Trump’s doubling of tariffs on imports to 20 percent by vowing to fight “till the end” and retaliating with 15 percent levies on selected American goods and expanding export controls to a dozen US companies, CNN reports.
“Pressure, coercion and threats are not the right ways to engage with China. Trying to exert maximum pressure on China is a miscalculation and a mistake,” said Chicom Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian, at a regular news briefing Tuesday afternoon. “If the United States insists on waging a tariff war, trade war, or any other kind of war, China will fight till the end.”
