In February 2023, the U.S. government imposed a 10% tariff on all goods imported from China, citing issues such as fentanyl, further exacerbating trade frictions between China and the U.S. In response, China implemented countermeasures starting from February 10 on certain imported goods originating from the U.S.: a 15% tariff on coal and liquefied natural gas, and a 10% tariff on crude oil, agricultural machinery, large-displacement vehicles, and pickup trucks.
