Trump said in a White House statement on Monday evening that he had instruct- ed the US Trade Representa- tive's office to identify $200 billion in imports from the Asian nation for additional tariffs of 10%. He said the US would impose tariffs on an- other $200 billion after that if Beijing retaliates. "The United States will no longer be taken advantage of on trade by China and other countries in the world," he said in the statement. "We will continue using all avail- able tools to create a better and fairer trading system for all Americans." The threat comes just three days after Trump vowed to impose tariffs on $50 billion in Chinese goods amid failed trade negotiations with Bei- jing. He said at the time he would impose even more du- ties if China retaliated, which the Asian nation immediately said it would do. The US imported $505 bil- lion of goods from China last year and exported about $130 billion, leaving a 2017 trade deficit of $376 billion, according to US government figures. Shanghai stocks tumbled nearly 4 percent yesterday to a two-year low, while the yuan fell to a more-than-five- month low against the dol- lar amid fears of a full-blown trade war. The equity slump, which comes despite a surprise li- quidity injection by the cen- tral bank, risks triggering a downward spiral that could derail Beijing's bid to lure large international listings, particularly from high-tech giants. The Shanghai Composite Index plunged more than 5 percent at one point in late trade before finishing the session down 3.8 percent at 2,907.82 points. The blue chip CSI300 index fell 3.6 percent to 3,621.12. Meanwhile, the yuan weak- ened to a low of 6.4754 in afternoon trade, the weakest since Jan. 12, while China's benchmark 10-year treas- ury futures jumped, as bond yields fell. "It's the darkest hour and the most agonising moment in the first half of this year... there are disaster victims everywhere," Zhang Yidong, strategist at Industrial Secu- rities wrote yesterday, in a note. Zhang said investors faced the triple-whammy of the Sino-US trade spat, Beijing's regulatory crackdown on riskier lending practices and tighter global liquidity. Stirring memories of the 2015 equity market crash, more than 1,000 stocks slumped by their 10 percent daily limit as Chinese inves- tors dumped stocks across the board, which sent jitters through China's retail invest- ment community. "It will have a big affect on us normal people," said Gu Xiaoliang, a 31-year-old personal investor, who was watching market prices at the entrance of the Shanghai Stock Exchange in the city's financial district "As an investor, I am not op- timistic with my investments. Right now, I don't have clear judgement so I'm just going to wait and see."
