China has warned the United States any trade agreements met between the two nations will be void if the US imposes any tariffs.

 

The warning comes after a meeting between US Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross and China’s top economic official Vice Premier Liu He met to discuss narrowing the trade surplus China has with the US.

 

The White House announced during the meeting they would impose a 25 cent tariff on 50 billion dollars worth of Chinese high tech goods.

 

The meeting went ahead, but China’s announcement continues to cause fear of trade war between the two economic superpowers.
