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.

The White House said China is facing up to a 245 percent tariff on imports to the U.S. "as a result of its retaliatory actions," as the trade war between the world's two largest economies continues to heat up.

Trump's most recent tariffs, which affected almost all U.S. trade partners, increased import taxes on Chinese goods to 104%. Beijing responded with additional tariffs on U.S. imports, raising the total levy to 84% set to take effect within hours.
