- Additional U.S. tariffs could reach 104% on Chinese imports, escalating tensions ahead of a Wednesday deadline.
- Global markets have slumped, with Asian shares recovering slightly after a sharp decline.
- China responds with retaliatory tariffs (34%), export controls on rare metals, and market-stabilization measures like yuan depreciation.
- Experts warn of long-term economic pain, with both nations in a standoff over who can endure more hardship.
- China faces economic challenges, including a slowing economy, property crisis, and unemployment, which tariffs exacerbate.
