    China retaliates with tariffs on $75 billion of US goods

    Beijing (CNN)
    The US-China trade war ratcheted up yet again on Friday, with Beijing unveiling a new round of retaliatory tariffs on about $75 billion worth of US goods.

    China will place tariffs of 5% or 10% on US imports starting on September 1st, according to a statement posted by China's Finance Ministry on Friday.

    The Ministry also announced plans to resume tariffs on US imports of automobiles and automobile parts. The tariffs would be 25% or 5%, and would take effect on December 15th.

    Last week, China said it would take countermeasures after the United States announced it would impose 10% tariffs on Chinese imports worth $300 billion.
    The United States postponed the implementation of about half of those tariffs, which will cover several categories of Chinese-made consumer goods, until December. They had been due to take effect in September.

    The move comes amid indications the ongoing trade war is having an impact on the world's two largest economies. Industrial production in China — an important indicator for the country's economy — grew just 4.8% in July compared to a year earlier, according to China's National Bureau of Statistics. That's the worst growth for that sector in 17 years.

    American factories are also contracting for the first time in a decade and red lights are flashing in the bond market, where the yield curve has inverted. Such inversions, where the 10-year Treasury yield dips below the two-year Treasury rate, are historic predictors of a coming recession.

    Newsflash! President Donald Trump just raised tariffs on the first $250 billion Chinese products tariffed from 25% to 30%. Also, new tariffs on the balance of $300 billion Chinese products will start at 15%. Now, nearing maximum pain. Let us see if the Chinese finally, come to their senses?

    More and more Americans support the trade war and more tariffs on China products! Basing this on their remarks on Social Media. Overwhelmingly, they support the tariffs on China! I am encouraged that there are more Patriotic Americans who love the USA than, those traitors supporting the Democrat efforts to turn the US into a Socialist, then, Communist State! They also, now realize the stakes as it relates to the future of of their children and grandchildren! More Americans are saying they will boycott Chinese goods! Thank you my fellow Americans!
