BEIJING/WASHINGTON, Aug 01 (Reuters): China said on Wednesday that “blackmail” wouldn’t work and that it would hit back if the United States takes further steps hindering trade, as the Trump administration considers slapping a 25 per cent tariff on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods. The proposal would increase the potential tariff rate from 10 per cent the administration had initially put forward on July 10 for that wave of duties in a bid to pressure Beijing into making trade concessions, a source familiar with the plan said on Tuesday. “US pressure and blackmail won’t have an effect. If the United States takes further escalatory steps, China will inevitably take countermeasures and we will resolutely protect our legitimate rights,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told a regular news briefing. Investors fear an escalating trade war between Washington and Beijing could hit global growth, and prominent US business groups, while weary of what they see as China’s mercantilist trade practices, have condemned Trump’s aggressive tariffs. The $200 billion list of goods targeted for tariffs – which also include Chinese tilapia fish, printed circuit boards and lighting products – would have a bigger impact on consumers than previous rounds of tariffs. Trump had said he would implement the $200 billion round as punishment for China’s retaliation against the initial tariffs aimed at forcing change in China’s joint venture, technology transfer and other trade-related policies. He also has threatened a further round of tariffs on $300 billion of Chinese goods.

The government plans to develop 100 economic zones by 2030 to create 10 million jobs and manufacture export-oriented products worth $40 billion.
