China now faces U.S. tariffs of up to 245%, the White House said last night as it unveiled a probe into critical minerals. But that total appears to apply only to two types of goods—electric vehicles and syringes—and isn’t new.

President Trump's tariffs on imports from dozens of countries kicked in Wednesday, including 104% on goods from China, dramatically ramping up a potential global trade war.

China has shrugged off the latest U.S. tariff hike, dismissing the Trump administration's threats as a "meaningless tariff numbers game." Newsweek reached out to the White House by email with a request for comment.
