China urges US to 'completely cancel' tariffs

China, which has retaliated with 125% tariffs, called for a "return to the right path of mutual respect".

Chinese officials are calling on US President Donald Trump to "completely cancel" his so-called reciprocal tariffs, as a trade war between the world's two biggest economies grinds on.

This week, Trump announced a 90-day pause on a host of global tariffs he had planned, but increased levies on Chinese imports to 145%.

"We urge the US to take a big step to correct its mistakes, completely cancel the wrong practice of 'reciprocal tariffs' and return to the right path of mutual respect," China's commerce ministry said in a statement.

The Trump administration seemed ready to offer a concession on Friday by announcing that some electronic products - including those produced in China - would be exempt.
