China slaps extra tariffs of up to 15% on imports of major U.S. farm exports
Briefly

China will implement tariffs of up to 15% on U.S. agricultural imports like chicken, pork, and soy, effective March 10. This move comes as retaliation against President Trump's decision to increase U.S. tariffs on Chinese products. Additionally, China has added 10 more U.S. firms to an unreliable entity list, including defense contractors involved in Taiwan, restricting their operations and barring executives from entering China. This escalation reflects the ongoing trade tensions and geopolitical strife surrounding U.S.-China relations.
China has decided to include 15 U.S. entities that endanger China's national security and interests in the export control list, prohibiting the export of dual-use items to them.
The firms include defense companies such as Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics and Lockheed Martin Missile System Integration Lab.
