China says it will respond to any new trade tariffs by the United States with measures of the same scale and intensity.The warning from China's ambassador to the United States, Cui Tiankai, came after Beijing slapped tariffs on $3 billion worth of US exports including fruit, pork and steel pipes.

The Trump administration has said the planned tariffs will punish the Chinese aerospace, technology and machinery industries.A spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry on Tuesday backed up the ambassador's comments, telling reporters at a regular news briefing that Beijing "will resolutely fight to the end" if it's forced into a trade war.

The spokesperson, Geng Shuang, signaled that China already has plenty more US products in mind for new sanctions if Trump goes ahead with another round of tariffs.
"The US has a list. China also will have a list," he said.
