China-US Trade Wars Have Little Impact on Beijing Economy - Statistics Bureau
China and the United States are currently engaged in a major trade spat that resulted from US Donald Trump introducing steel and aluminium import tariffs in March.

Tensions deepened in late May when Washington announced that $50 billion worth of Chinese goods would be subject to 25 per cent tariffs. Since then, the two countries have exchanged several rounds of trade duties against each other.

The United States has accused China of stealing trade secrets from US companies and of using "unfair trade practices," including dumping and higher tariffs on the goods exported from the US.
