"The United States continues to impose arbitrary tariffs on China and exert tireless extreme pressure. China decides to decide such dominant and harassing behavior and will never accept it," said the spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, at a regular press conference.

lin added: "If the USA ignore the interests of both countries and the international community and insist on waging a customs and trade war, China will fight until the end." The US tariffs to Chinese imports should be increased by 34 % on Wednesday, as part of Trump's package of "mutual" tariffs. However, the President added an additional 50 % after Beijing did not transfer from his promise to raise 34 % retaliation duties on US goods by Tuesday afternoon. Before this last escalation, Trump had raised 20 % tariffs on Chinese products since returning to the White House.

China's legitimate development rights

"The legitimate right of the Chinese population on development cannot be withdrawn, and China's sovereignty, security and development interests must not be violated," Lin continued.

Beijing has not announced any immediate retaliation measures against the latest US tariffs. However, the message of the Chinese government, the state media and the opinion leader is so far one of the contradiction - and the determination to resign.
