# The Chinese government has warned that it will retaliate if US president Donald Trump makes good on his threat to impose new 100-percent tariffs on Chinese imports. Last week, Trump hit back at Beijing’s move to tighten its rules for rare earths exports, accusing it of becoming very hostile and trying to hold the world captive. China’s Ministry of Commerce says if the US persists in acting unilaterally, Beijing will resolutely take corresponding measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.
