China to impose tariffs of 34% on all US goods from April 10

China has hit back at Washington with a new wave of tariffs and export restrictions, escalating trade tensions as it targets key U.S. imports and rare-earth materials critical to advanced industries.

China has unveiled a series of retaliatory measures against the United States in response to the sweeping tariffs recently imposed by President Donald Trump.

In a statement released Friday, the Chinese Finance Ministry announced that an additional 34% tariff will be levied on all U.S. goods starting April 10.

Beijing also introduced export controls on several critical rare-earth elements—including samarium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, lutetium, scandium, and yttrium—with restrictions taking effect April 4. These materials are essential to advanced manufacturing and defense technologies.

China’s Ministry of Commerce emphasized that the move aims to protect national security and fulfill international obligations, including non-proliferation commitments.

Additionally, 11 foreign entities have been added to China’s “unreliable entity list,” enabling Beijing to impose sanctions or other punitive actions against them.
