China state media dismiss Trump's tariff vow, focus on fentanyl

China's state media shrugged off US President-elect Donald Trump's pledge to slap additional tariffs on Chinese goods in editorials late on Tuesday, accusing the former president of blaming China for the country's failure to address the fentanyl crisis.

Trump, who takes office on Jan 20, said on Monday he would impose "an additional 10% tariff, above any additional tariffs" on imports from China. He previously said he would introduce tariffs in excess of 60% on Chinese goods.
