China said on Friday that it will take "immediate" tariff measures of "equal scale and strength" in response to the US government imposing a 25 percent tariff on about $50 billion of Chinese goods.

China will resolutely fight back to safeguard its national interest and the interest of its people, the The Ministry of Commerce said.

It also reiterated that all economic and trade outcomes of previous talks won't take effect.

The ministry made the comments after the White House announced on Friday that the US would "implement a 25 percent tariff on $50 billion of goods from China that contain industrially significant technologies".

The ministry said that it regretted that the US side had been changeable and inconsistent, which damaged the global trade order and bilateral trade interests, according to a Xinhua report.
