The prospect¹ of an all-out trade war between America and China became real.

Donald Trump² said he would impose tariffs³ on $50bn of Chinese goods, because Beijing was not dealing⁴ with American complaints about stealing intellectual property.

唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)表示，他将对价值500亿美元的中国商品征收关税，因为中国政府没有处理美国有关窃取知识产权的投诉。

China responded in kind by announcing penalties on $50bn of American goods, which prompted Mr Trump to threaten to levy⁵ additional tariffs on goods worth $400bn.

Global stockmarkets took fright at the trade news, none more so than in China. The Shanghai Composite fell by 4% in a day to its lowest level in 20 months. The Shenzhen Composite dropped by 6%.

The central bank pumped 200bn yuan ($31bn) into financial institutions, followed by a smaller intervention⁷, to ensure they remain liquid.

全球股市因贸易消息而恐慌，中国亦是如此。上证综合指数一天内下跌4%，跌至20个月以来的最低水平。深证综合指数下跌了6%。中国央行行长易纲表示，投资者应该“保持冷静和理性”。中国央行向金融机构注资2000亿元人民币(合310亿美元)，然后再进行小规模干预，以确保它们保持流动性。

Oil prices swung up and down in part because of China’s plan to target tariffs at American energy supplies.
