US to impose extra tariffs on Chinese imports
15/08/2018
This second set of measures follows the imposition of tariffs on approximately $34 billion of imports from China that came into effect on July 6.
The US claims that its investigations show that China is guilty of a number of disloyal trade practices, particularly with regard to technology transfer. For example, it said China uses joint-venture requirements, foreign investment restrictions and administrative processes “to require or pressure technology transfer from US companies”.
