China retaliates with 84% tariffs on US products from Thursday
AFP April 9, 2025 7:39 am
China will impose 84 percent tariffs on US imports, up from 34 percent, the finance ministry said Wednesday, hours after similar levies by the United States came into force.
US President Donald Trump’s latest salvo of tariffs came into effect on dozens of trading partners Wednesday, including punishing 104 percent duties on imports of Chinese products.
Beijing has consistently opposed tariff rises and said Wednesday it would take “firm and forceful” steps to protect its interests.
Its finance ministry later said in a statement that “additional tariff rates” on imports originating in the United States would “rise from 34 percent to 84 percent”, effective from 12:01 pm on Thursday.
“The tariff escalation against China by the United States simply piles mistakes on top of mistakes (and) severely infringes on China’s legitimate rights and interests,” the ministry said.
Washington’s moves “severely damage the multilateral rules-based trade system”, it added.
In a separate statement, Beijing’s commerce ministry said it would blacklist six American artificial intelligence firms, including Shield AI Inc. and Sierra Nevada Corp.
The companies had either sold arms to Taiwan or collaborated on “military technology” with the island, the commerce ministry said.

Here is a summary of the meaning of the number 4 in Chinese culture:
The number 4 is considered an unlucky number in China because it sounds
similar to the Chinese word for "death" O . This association with death makes the
number 4 unpopular and avoided in many contexts O , O
Some key points:
• The pronunciation of the number 4 (si) is very close to the word for "death" (si) in
Mandarin Chinese O , O , O .

Kinda funny cuz Eron has a bunch of cars driving around in China …
Even if Elon keeps all the Chinese driving data in a consumer only DB, who in their right mind would think it isn't accessible to Chinese Interrigence Selvices as well as ours.
