China is considering its response to new global tariffs imposed by the United States, which went into effect Tuesday after the Supreme Court struck down the Trump administration's previous tariffs. The new tariffs, initially at 10% on all goods entering the US, replace levies that included duties on China. While no official order has been issued, Trump announced plans to raise the rate to 15%. China's Ministry of Commerce confirmed upcoming high-level trade talks with Washington, expected before a potential US presidential visit in late March. China has consistently opposed unilateral tariffs and urges the US to remove them.
