🚨 China Hits Back: 125% Tariffs on All U.S. Imports 🚨. On Friday, April 11, 2025, 🇨🇳 China’s Ministry of Finance escalated trade retaliation, raising tariffs on all U.S. goods to 125%, up from 84% just the day before — marking its third retaliatory strike in an intensifying U.S.–China trade war. 🔍 What’s Inside: 📉 April 10: Tariffs jumped from 34% ➡️ 84% 📈 April 11: Now raised again ➡️ 125% (effective April 12, 2025) ⚠️ These moves follow the U.S. decision to impose a 125% IEEPA #ReciprocalTariff on Chinese imports, maintaining a 20% IEEPA #FentanylTariff, citing national security and opioid enforcement concerns. 🧭 What’s Next?
