Chinese President Xi Jinping speaks during an international business meeting at The Great Hall Of The People on March 28, 2025 in Beijing, China. Following Beijing's decision to raise tariffs on US goods to 125%—its most forceful response in the ongoing trade dispute with the Trump administration—Chinese President Xi Jinping affirmed the country's readiness to withstand external pressure from the United States. This latest move came just days after President Donald Trump increased tariffs on Chinese imports to 145%, while allowing a temporary pause for other countries.
