Trump’s tariffs against China major test for Xi Jinping’s leadership: Nicholas Burns
BEIJING: (Apr 13) The US' high tariffs on China will be a major test for President Xi Jinping’s leadership amid the economic slowdown while the Trump administration’s levies on Beijing could be far more effective if the US takes allies along, former US ambassador to China Nicholas Burns has said.
US President Donald Trump slapped 145 per cent tariffs against Chinese exports and China retaliated with 125 per cent levies on its imports from America.
China is the only country to have retaliated with tit-for-tat levies.
