China urges full cancellation of US tariffs
While the US spared some electronics and chipmaking tools, most Chinese goods still face high tariffs

China called on the United States to “completely cancel” its reciprocal tariffs after Washington announced exemptions for consumer electronics and key chipmaking equipment.
“We urge the US to… take a big step to correct its mistakes, completely cancel the wrong practice of ‘reciprocal tariffs’ and return to the right path of mutual respect”, a commerce ministry spokesperson said on Sunday.
A notice late Friday by the US Customs and Border Protection office said smartphones, laptops, memory chips and other products would be excluded from the global levies President Donald Trump rolled out this month.
Beijing’s commerce ministry said the exemptions were a “small step” by Washington, and China was “evaluating the impact” of the decision.
“The surest way to destroy those jobs and throw Americans out of work is to start a #tradewar.”
