  • US guilty of "willful distortion of facts"
  • US measures are in gross violation of WTO rules
  • Will immediately challenge US tariffs

Even more responses coming out of the Chinese camp on the day. I think it's safe to say we all pretty much lost count already at this point.

Anyway, China is set to hold a briefing later at 0830 GMT - where it is reported that they will announce plans to retaliate against the US tariffs announced earlier in the day.
