China will pay no attention if the United States continues to play the "tariff numbers game", China's foreign ministry said on Thursday, after the White House outline how China faces tariffs of up to 245% due to its retaliatory actions.

Many U.S. tech giants shifted their manufacturing toward Vietnam and other parts of Southeast Asia during the trade war with China in Trump’s first term. Those countries could be hit with sharply higher tariff rates but the so-called reciprocal tariffs are currently on pause.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent wants trading partners to limit China’s involvement in their economies in exchange for concessions on reciprocal tariffs.
