“The US Postal Service (USPS) stated on February 5 that it temporarily suspended the reception of incoming parcels from China and Hong Kong. This happened after the introduction of US President Donald Trump with additional 10 percent tariffs for Chinese imports from Tuesday. A few minutes after they came into force, Beijing announced new duties on a wide range of American goods in response. Suspension of USPS will continue “before further message”. Responding to the suspension at the next briefing on Wednesday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China called on the US to stop politicizing trade and economic issues and to use them as tools, as well as to stop unjustified suppression of Chinese companies. ” Prescribe Lyn Jian added that China will “continue to take the necessary measures for decisive protection of legal rights and interests of Chinese companies.” On February 4, a decree on a 10 percent duty on all Chinese products supplied in the United States came into force. China’s authorities have announced a number of steps in response. Measures include 15% of coal import tax and natural gas from the United States. Raw oil, agricultural machinery, pickups and cars with large engines will be charged with 10% of duty. The United States has previously announced new punitive duties on Mexico, Canada and China, which creates the preconditions for a wider trade conflict with the three largest US trading partners. After talking to Canada and Mexico leaders, Trump agreed to delay the introduction of duties on goods from these countries for 30 days. ”, – WRITE: www.radiosvoboda.org
