BEIJING: Beijing condemned fresh US tariffs imposed on China and 59 other countries over alleged forced labour concerns on Friday (Jul 24), and warned Washington against waging a trade war. The US levies range from 10 to 12.5 per cent, with China slapped with the highest rate. "Tariff wars and trade wars are not in the interests of any party," he warned. Other major trade partners including India and Japan were hit with the higher 12.5 per cent tariffs. After Trump visited Beijing this year, China said it would work with the United States on reducing tariffs, but the latest levies threaten to renew trade tensions.
