China has lodged a case against the United States with the World Trade Organization (WTO) over U.S. import duties.
The Chinese commerce ministry said on Monday that the United States began imposing 15% tariffs on a variety of Chinese goods on Sunday – including footwear, smart watches and flat-panel televisions – as China began imposing new duties on U.S. crude, the latest escalation in a bruising trade war.
The latest tariffs actions violated the consensus reached by leaders of China and the U.S. in a meeting in Osaka, the commerce ministry said in the statement.

China will firmly defend its legal rights in accordance with WTO rules, it said.
