The hike in tariffs, from 34%, came as US President Donald Trump's 104% tariff on Chinese goods came into force.

Beijing says the new charges will take effect from Thursday.

China has called for the world to unite against Trump's tariffs as the country's exporters reel from the crippling new levies.

"Global unity can triumph over trade tyranny," declared an editorial in the state-run newspaper China Daily, noting Beijing's collaborations with Japan, South Korea and other Asian economies.
