“Even if the U.S. continues to impose higher tariffs, it will no longer make economic sense and will become a joke in the history of world economy,” the ministry said in a statement, according to a CNBC translation.
With tariff rates at the current level, there is no longer a market for U.S. goods imported into China,” the statement noted, adding that “if the U.S. government continues to increase tariffs on China, Beijing will ignore.”
The Trump administration confirmed to CNBC on Thursday that the U.S. tariff rate on Chinese imports now effectively totals 145%. Trump’s latest executive order boosted reciprocal tariffs on Beijing to 125%, stacked on top of a combined 20% fentanyl-related tariff imposed in February and March.
Despite the latest escalation, a spokesperson of China’s commerce ministry reiterated in a separate statementFriday that Beijing is open to negotiate with the U.S. on an equal footing.
Hopes for a U.S.-China deal to resolve trade tensions have faded fast as Beijing has been hitting back in the last week with tit-for-tat duties on American goods and wide-ranging restrictions on U.S. businesses.
“It’s unfortunate that the Chinese actually don’t want to come and negotiate, because they are the worst offenders in the international trading system,” U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox Business on Wednesday after China’s raised tariffs to 84%.

国务院关税税则委员会今天发布公告，2025年4月10日，美国政府宣布对中国输美商品征收“对等关税”的税率进一步提高至125%。美方对华加征畸高关税，严重违反国际经贸规则，也违背基本的经济规律和常识，完全是单边霸凌胁迫做法。
根据《中华人民共和国关税法》、《中华人民共和国海关法》、《中华人民共和国对外贸易法》等法律法规和国际法基本原则，经国务院批准，自2025年4月12日起，调整对原产于美国的进口商品加征关税措施。有关事项如下：
一、调整《国务院关税税则委员会关于调整对原产于美国的进口商品加征关税措施的公告》（税委会公告2025年第5号）规定的加征关税税率，由84%提高至125%。鉴于在目前关税水平下，美国输华商品已无市场接受可能性，即便美方继续加征再高关税，已经没有经济意义，而且还将沦为世界经济史上的笑话。如果美方继续关税数字游戏，中方将不予理会。但是，倘若美方执意继续实质性侵害中方利益，中方将坚决反制，奉陪到底。
二、其他事项按照《国务院关税税则委员会关于对原产于美国的进口商品加征关税的公告》（税委会公告2025年第4号）执行。
