China said it would "fight to the end" and take countermeasures to "safeguard its own rights and interests" after United States President Donald Trump escalated his tariff threats against the Asian nation.

The statement came after Trump said on Monday that he would impose an additional 50% tariff on China, effective Wednesday, if Beijing doesn't withdraw its 34% retaliatory tariff on US goods.

"China will never accept this. If the US insists on its own way, China will fight to the end," the ministry stressed.
