China retaliates against US tariffs with Google antitrust probe and trade restrictions


China announced its retaliatory actions moments after the new US tariffs of 10% on products from the country came into effect.

Beyond Google, China's Finance Ministry announced 15% tariffs on coal and liquefied natural gas, and 10% on crude oil, farm equipment, large-displacement vehicles, and pickup trucks from the US, starting February 10. Beijing is also imposing export controls on tungsten, tellurium, ruthenium, molybdenum and ruthenium-related items, which it says will "safeguard national security interests." The other company added to the list is Illumina Inc, a biotech firm that specializes in genomics, DNA sequencing, and genetic analysis technologies.
