China retaliated against new US tariffs by raising its own levies on US goods to 125%, claiming there's no longer a market for US imports. The US tariff rate on Chinese imports is now 145%. Despite the escalation, China says it remains open to negotiations.

China vowed to "fight to the end" if the US continues its actions.
