China retaliates against the US with tariffs and a Google probe.

• China imposes tariffs on U.S. energy, vehicles, and equipment imports, escalating the trade war between the two major economies.

• U.S. President Trump announced measures against Canada and Mexico, while China’s goods face an additional 10% tariff.

• China also imposes 15% levies on coal and liquefied natural gas imports, and 10% duties on crude oil, agricultural machinery, big-engined vehicles, and pick-up trucks.

• China claims the U.S. decision violates World Trade Organization rules and disrupts normal economic and trade cooperation.

• China plans to file a complaint with the WTO over the levies.

• China also announces a probe into U.S. tech giant Google and the addition of U.S. fashion group PVH Corp. and biotech giant Illumina to a list of “unreliable entities”.
