The US will impose a 25-percent tariff on 16 billion US dollars worth of Chinese goods starting August 23, adding fuel to an ever-expanding trade battle.
The US move has raised some concerns, of which one is whether its intention is to shut down the Chinese economy or keep China trailing behind the United States for at least 200 years.

Rogowsky gave a businessman’s perspective on what the US really wants through tariffs on Wednesday`s Dialogue on CGTN.
