I analyzed what categories are left for China to “retaliate” this round. It is not hard to guess since they only had $130B to begin with, and 1/3 were already selected during last round.
Just to clarify, for aircrafts they only included narrow bodies such as 737s. Wide-body aircrafts (787,747,777) could potentially be included this round. BA must be panicking right now.
Also these are US categories so they don’t 100% overlap with the ones announced by Chinese. For example Chinese only levied tariff on Beef but it is grouped with Meat and poultry. You get the point.
Also note: Since China is running out of products, they can always increase the tariff for existing categories to be more than 25%.
