China announced that it will impose a 34% tariff on all imports from the United States from April 10.
The new tariff is in line with the US “retaliatory” tariff imposed by US President Donald Trump this week.
Beijing's Commerce Ministry also said it would tighten export controls on rare earth metals, materials used in high-tech products such as computer chips and electric vehicle batteries.
The Chinese government also said it would add 27 U.S. companies to a list of companies subject to trade sanctions or export controls.
Beijing also announced it had filed a lawsuit at the World Trade Organization over the tariffs.
