As tensions continue to rise between both sides, China has warned that US President Donald Trump’s tariff war will backfire. Indeed, a top Chinese official called the nation’s actions “extremely shameless” as an ongoing trade war continues to ramp up between both sides.
Xia Baolong, a senior Chinese official, said that the reciprocal tariff actions would leave “those peasants in the US” wailing, speaking on Tuesday. Moreover, he referred to the United States’ decision to increase its import duties on the US to 145% as “brutally unreasonable.”

The administration doubled down on its actions against China, increasing the tariff to 145%. With a trade war seemingly looming, tensions have risen greatly between both sides. Now, China has warned that the “extremely shameful” Trump tariff plan will backfire, according to a New York Post report.

In an investor note published Friday, UBS discussed how the move could impact globalization. “The United States appears to be decoupling from the world, and the world may be decoupling from the United States,” they wrote. Additionally, they noted their expectations that the tariffs on China would “effectively sever that trading relationship.”
