China just waived import tariffs on more than a dozen US goods. It's the first time Beijing has issued such exemptions since the US-China trade war began.

The Chinese government issued tariff exemptions on 16 products, including shrimp, fish meal and cancer treatment drugs.

Chinese importers can apply for a refund of tariffs already levied on 12 of the products. Four products, including whey, are eligible for the exemption but not for refunds.

The exemptions will start September 17 and last for a year.

China is economically effed.
But, they can still screw everybody by exporting their millions of peasants to every corner of the Earth. Expect them to ramp up emigration to South and Central America, and to Africa. Population is their only weapon and they will use it.

I don’t care what these gooks do. Just raise the tariffs every year until the trade imbalance is zero. F China.
