Africa-Press – Cape verde. <\/strong><\/span>Chinese Trade Minister, Wang Wentao has insisted that the continuous introduction of tariffs by the US government will cause great harm to the developing world and may even spark a \u201chumanitarian crisis,\u201d Bloomberg reports.<\/p>\n

Wang stated this while speaking with Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, director-general of the World Trade Organization, in a video call on Friday.<\/p>\n

He said China\u2019s \u201cdecisive countermeasures\u201d are about protecting justice and stopping what he called trade \u201cbullying\u201d by the US government.<\/p>\n

Wang also warned that the poorest countries are the ones getting steamrolled by the US tariffs.<\/p>\n

The trade war between US and China has escalated in the past few days.<\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump\u2019s administration had earlier this month increased tariffs on Chinese imports, escalating trade tensions between the two nations.<\/p>\n

Trump later announced a 125% tariff on Chinese goods, pointing at China\u2019s \u201clack of respect\u201d in trade relations.<\/p>\n

Also, a 20% \u201cfentanyl tariff\u201d was imposed on specific imports, bringing the total tariffs on Chinese products to 145%.<\/p>\n

In retaliation, China raised tariffs on US imports from 84% to 125%, effective today.<\/p>\n
