let's join tom mackenzie. tom, which of the industry groups that china wants to the industrych are groups that china have to target? tom: there are two components to this. they take in or will kick in on july 6. after that, we are looking at an additional $16 billion worth of tariffs that, at some point after that. the first will target things like soybeans, corn, port, and beef, but also the auto sector as well. u.s. auto exports particularly hit. it sees china as a significant market and bmw, which has a major factory and export the number of autos. that focuses on commodities. coal, oil, and gas. china imported about $400 million worth of u.s. coal back in 2017, and in terms of oil, china is the third-largest buyer of u.s. exports of oil. that's potentially significant if those additional $16 billion worth of tariffs come into play and shows china has taken a targeted approach in terms of hitting his agricultural states in the u.s. and also various sectors that trump has said he wants to revive. that is a se

nejra: joining us now is our china correspondent tom mackenzie. es china plan to respond to this latest tariff salvo from donald trump? it has limited options compared to the u.s. when it comes to tariffs. tom: the scales are tilted in the u.s. favor when it comes to tariffs because the u.s. imports with of goodslion from china versus $150 billion if you go with the imf number on u.s. exports to china. they cannot go toe to tell with the u.s. when it comes to tariffs. they may increase the duties they propose regarding the first $50 billion worth of retaliatory measures. they propose tariffs of 25% or duties up 25% and those could be increased. other measures, we are for from businesses in china, involve unofficial measures. for example, stepping up inspections imports and delaying licensing, putting hurdles in place for u.s. businesses operating in the chinese market to try to pressure them and pressure their bottom line. some of the measures are starting to take effect and people are concerned. china could also initiate a boycott of u.s. one of a

let's find out more from beijing from our china correspondent, tom mackenzie. what exactly did the u.s. president do here? tom: what donald trump is saying is that if china goes ahead with its threat to retaliate with $50 billion worth of tariffs or tariffs on 50 been dollars worth of u.s. goods from july 6, he will look at imposing an additional $200 billion and then should china retaliate with that, he's looking to impose a further $200 billion. so you're looking at a total of $450 billion worth of goods from china imported into the u.s. market, ranging from 25% for the first bit -- 50 we dollars to is $400 billion he talked about. baron mina china are the u.s. has ordered about 500 do not throw the goods from china in 2017 so you're talking about an additional duty on almost all goods imported into the u.s. market from china. a potential hit for u.s. consumers and the bottom line. donald trump cities doing this because he seeing no signs and china that they are prepared to change what he says are unfair practices around i.t. and technology transfer. saying no
