27 Rapid escalation of US-China trade dispute from mid-june The trade tensions between the US and China escalated on 15 June 2018, when the US announced that the Government would impose a 25% tariff on 818 Chinese imports worth US$34bn with effect from 6 July President Trump had earlier announced a tariff of 25% on US$50bn worth of Chinese imports, where tariffs on an additional US$16bn worth of Chinese imports will need to undergo public review. China retaliated immediately, declaring a 25% tariff on US$34bn of US imports, which will also take effect on 6 July China plans to impose additional tariffs of 25% on chemical products, medical equipment and energy, with a value of US$16bn imported from the US starting August 23. President Trump has not backed down since, having requested the United States Trade Representative (USTR) to identify US$200bn worth of Chinese imports for additional tariffs of 10%, or as high as 25%. On July 20, President Trump said he s ready to go for US$500bn, where the immediate impact of such an action would be felt on port operators, shipping companies and the people who work for them.

28 Second phase of tariffs take effect on September 24 On Sept.7, Trump said he s willing to slap tariffs on an additional US$267bn in Chinese goods, on top of duties of US$200bn in imports is already considering. On Sept. 17, President Trump finalised the list of US$200bn imports from China which will be subjected to a 10% tariff. Also announced was the eventual increase in the tariff to 25% on January The next day on Sept. 18, China finalised its tariffs on US$60bn of imports from the US ranging from 5% to 10%, down from 5% to 25%, previously. Tariffs imposed are mainly on intermediate inputs and capital equipment. Both US and China tariffs announced on Sept 17 and 18 were taken into effect on Sept. 24. As trade tariff escalate, on Sept. 21, China decided to cancel trade talks which were supposed to take place the following week. In a bid to protect its consumers amid rising US tariffs, China announced on Sept. 26 that it would cut import tariffs on some non-us goods such as electrical equipment, machinery, and textiles effective Nov. 1.
