What happened
Global tariff measures are targeting goods produced in China, described by one report as a broader trade war between China and much of the world, rather than a bilateral issue. The measures involve specific duties on Chinese electric vehicles, which range from 102 per cent in the United States to 75-125 per cent in India. The report also noted that China's manufacturing output is currently double what it was in 2004.

Why it matters
These tariffs are linked to a proposed joint statement at a recent G20 finance ministers' meeting. This statement called on countries with excessive and persistent external surpluses to remove the market distortions they were producing. An analyst noted that China voted against this proposal, indicating growing international isolation.
G20 members are currently being pressured to address China's trade surplus and re-examine trade terms with Beijing ahead of a future summit.
