China has reacted in kind to Trump's tariffs, but a deal may still emerge
Briefly

Following Donald Trump's introduction of a 10% tariff on Chinese goods, China quickly retaliated with its own tariffs ranging from 10-15% on US imports and launched an investigation into Google, indicating its readiness to engage in a trade conflict. This contrasts with the more conciliatory response from Canada and Mexico, where Trump agreed to pause tariffs in exchange for promises of enhanced border security. Although China's tariffs won't take effect until February, it remains assertive in addressing trade negotiations, particularly regarding the US's significant trade deficit with China.
Moments after Trump announced a 10% tariff on Chinese goods, Beijing retaliated swiftly with its own tariffs and investigations into US companies, showcasing its readiness for trade conflict.
China's immediate counteractions, including tariffs of 10-15% on US imports, underscore its preparation for a trade war and refusal to back down under US pressure.
