Beijing's scathing response to President Trump's threat of imposing a crushing 100% tariff on Chinese goods sharply escalated the US-China trade war toward full-fledged economic confrontation on Sunday. Beijing warned that Washington's "threatening high tariffs at every turn" are driving the two largest economies toward a point of no return.
China's Ministry of Commerce didn't mince words: "We do not want to fight, but we are not afraid to fight."
"These actions have severely harmed China's interests and seriously undermined the atmosphere of the economic and trade talks between the two sides," a spokesperson for Beijing's Ministry of Commerce said in a strongly worded statement published online Sunday.
