00:00China imposes 84% tariffs on U.S. goods, taking effect on Thursday, according to a Chinese finance ministry statement on Wednesday.
00:12This comes after the U.S. government announced an additional 84% in tariffs on all imports from China on Tuesday.
00:21This means China will be subject to a tariff of at least 104%.
00:26One expert believes that China won't hesitate to continue to retaliate.
00:32If the United States wants to use maximum pressure against China,
00:36China definitely will launch more rounds of restrictions against exports of rare metals to the United States.
00:45That will take a big bite on the American defense industry.
00:50And it may be too late, eventually, if the United States goes in the wrong direction,
00:54forcing China to retaliate against the United States.
00:59The Chinese government has not said whether it would negotiate with the White House,
01:05as many other countries have started doing.
01:08According to the Commerce Ministry,
01:09China has also filed a complaint to the World Trade Organization over the latest U.S. tariffs.
