China duties to hit US chicken imports



China's government says it will impose import duties on US chicken products it says are being unfairly dumped on the Chinese market.

From Monday, duties of up to 105.4% will be imposed on US chicken imports for the next five years, the China's ministry of commerce said in statement.

It said an investigation had concluded that US imports were hurting the domestic chicken industry.

The move is the latest in a growing trade dispute between China and the US.

3. So does this mean we're gonna play chicken now?

Someone can correct me if my thinking's off but I was of the opinion that China needs us (and a healthy us at that) more than we need them at this point in our economy. Also.....who really cares? Is it all that important to us?

Honest questions there.

We're not able to buy as much junk as we used to, I know that's gotta sting a bit.
