China condemned Donald Trump’s plan to impose 100% tariffs on Chinese exports and to roll out sweeping export controls, warning of “corresponding measures” and blaming the US for worsening ties. Trump said the tariffs and controls could arrive by November 1 in a social media post.

With a possible Xi–Trump meeting in doubt, analysts said the latest steps mark a sharp escalation after Madrid talks.
