India, April 11 -- China's finance ministry on Friday announced that it has raised additional tariffs on US goods from 84 per cent to 125 per cent.

"If the US insists on continuing to infringe upon China's interests in a substantive way, China will resolutely take countermeasures and fight to the end," the Chinese finance ministry was quoted by Reuters as saying.

"If the US continues to impose additional tariffs on Chinese goods exported to the US, China will ignore it," the Chinese finance ministry added.
