Beijing :Beijing on Friday accused Washington of launching the “the largest trade war in economic history” after the US imposed tariffs on $34 billion worth of Chinese imports at the stroke of midnight.
“The United States violated the WTO rules and launched the largest trade war in economic history to date,” China’s commerce ministry said in a statement.
“This type of tariff levying is typical trade bullying, and seriously jeopardises the security of the global industrial chain and value chain, hindering the pace of global economic recovery and triggering global market turmoil,” the statement said.
