The
United States implements a 10% across-the-board
tariff on Chinese products and eliminates the
de minimis exemption for exports from China. In response, China imposes retaliatory tariffs on
energy products,
agricultural equipment, and
automobiles from the United States, effective February 10, and export controls on critical minerals. It also adds U.S. companies
PVH Corp. and
Illumina Inc to its unreliable entities list and launches a probe into U.S. technology company
Google for alleged
anti-trust violations.
