The White House has criticised China after it imposed retaliatory tariffs against the US on a range of goods including pork and wine.
Beijing has introduced duties of up to 25% on 128 American imports following President Donald Trump's decision to slap tariffs on steel and aluminium.
China said the move was intended to safeguard its interests and balance losses caused by the new tariffs.
US stocks plunged and Asian shares opened lower as trade war fears mount.
On Wall Street, the S&P 500 Index crashed 2.2%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 1.9%.

In Asia, Japan's Nikkei 225 opened down about 1.5% on Tuesday.
In its statement about the tariffs, the White House accused Beijing of "distorting global markets".
"China's subsidisation and continued overcapacity is the root cause of the steel crises," spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said.
"Instead of targeting fairly traded US exports, China needs to stop its unfair trading practices which are harming US national security and distorting global markets."
The back-and-forth reflects rising tensions between the US and China, which President Trump has described as an "economic enemy".
