what is trade war between china and usa
2018 China–United States trade war China and the United States are locked in an ongoing trade war as each country has introduced tariffs on goods traded with the other. US President Donald Trump had promised in his campaign to fix China's "longtime abuse of the broken international system and unfair practices". Starting in January 2018 the U.S imposed a tariff on solar panel imports, most of which are manufactured in China.[1] On July 6, the U.S. specifically targeted China by imposing 25% tariffs on $34 billion of imported Chinese goods[2] as part of Trump's tariffs policy, which then led China to respond with similarly sized tariffs on U.S. products. A tariff on an additional $16 billion of Chinese imports was added in mid August,[3] with China responding proportionately.[4] A further tariff on $200 billion of Chinese goods went into effect on September 24,[5] to which China responded with tariffs on $60 billion of US goods.[6] The Trump administration said the tariffs were necessary to protect intellectual property of U.S. businesses, and to help reduce the U.S. trade deficit with China.[7][8]
