China imposed an import ban on Illumina’s gene sequencers in response to President Trump’s escalating tariffs and trade war

In a sign it is willing to go further in responding to President Trump’s tariffs, Beijing blocked more American companies from importing goods into China.

China announced a ban on Tuesday on imports of genetic sequencers from San Diego medical equipment maker Illumina, just minutes after U.S. President Donald Trump's additional 10% tariff on Chinese goods took effect.

China on Saturday announced retaliatory tariffs on Canadian agricultural goods products, hitting back after Ottawa slapped import duties on Chinese-made EVs.

BEIJING — China's retaliatory tariffs against United States farm produce are designed to hurt Donald Trump's voter base, analysts say, but remain restrained enough to allow room for the adversaries to hash out a trade deal.

Beijing announced Tuesday additional tariffs as high as 15% on certain U.S. goods and a series of new export restrictions for designated U.S. entities.

BEIJING (AP) — The Chinese government unveiled an annual economic growth target of “around 5%” on Wednesday, despite the possible negative impact of a looming trade war with the United States, and pledged to address what it called “sluggish” consumer spending at home.

GlobalData’s senior medical analyst says the ban will add to a downward trend for Illumina in the Chinese market.

Beijing imposed broad tariffs on imports of American food and said 15 U.S. companies could no longer buy from China without special permission.

Five years after a fire broke out at the China Max restaurant in San Diego’s Convoy District, the Cantonese eatery is ready to welcome back customers.

China imported $29 billion of US farm produce in 2023, more than any other country, according to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).
