     The US announced new tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese imports on Monday evening.
    China's Ministry of Commerce said Tuesday it has "no choice" but to retaliate.
    It's not clear what form the retaliation will take, but the ministry previously promised to respond with tariffs on $60 billion worth of US goods.

China will hit back at the US with retaliatory tariffs after President Donald Trump levied a fresh $200 billion of tariffs against Chinese goods overnight.

The Chinese Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) said on Tuesday morning that it had "no choice" but to retaliate.

"In order to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests and the global free trade order, China will have to retaliate as a response," a statement from the ministry said.

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

Bulls##t. China has a choice.

They can drop their pretensions of owning the Paracelles and the Spratleys and obey international law.

They can drop their over 2.2M man standing army. No one's trying to invade them. Who the hell would Want the place in the shape it's in now?

They can stop trying to Buy the 3rd world, after the 1st world told them to go soak their head when they went to Germany to beg for a trade alliance against the US.

They can get rid of their Communist Govt and President for life and let their people elect a real Govt.


The FBI is investigating China for espionage in all 50 American States. They can't keep their economy/Regime afloat without spying and stealing American Intellectual property.

They're Thieves. But we're supposed to feel understanding, and maybe pity for them, because they don't have a choice but to continue being thieves and a major threat to every other nation in the region?
