Tariffs: China vows to 'fight to the end'

The trade war between the world's two biggest economies shows no signs of slowing down.

The trade war between the world's two biggest economies shows no signs of slowing down - Beijing has vowed to "fight to the end" hours after US President Donald Trump threatened to nearly double the tariffs on China.
