China will pay no attention if the United States continues to play the "tariff numbers game", China's foreign ministry said on Thursday, after the White House outline how China faces tariffs of up to 245% due to its retaliatory actions.

China said it would raise its retaliatory tariff on U.S. goods to 125%, matching the latest duty imposed by the White House on Chinese goods. The 125% tariff will go into effect Saturday, China’s tariff commission said.
