Mumbai, Feb. 4 -- Day after Donald Trump ignited a trade war with China, Beijing hit back with counter tariffs and a fresh crackdown on US tech. China announced a 15% tariff on American coal and LNG, while crude oil, farm equipment, and large-displacement cars will face an additional 10% duty. In a bold move beyond tariffs, China also launched an anti-trust investigation into Google, signaling a broader pushback against US economic pressure. With tensions rising, the trade battle between the world's two largest economies shows no signs of cooling down.
