The move comes as a response to the 10 per cent US tariff ordered by President Donald Trump, set to take effect the same day.
Trump is expected to speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping in the coming days regarding the trade tensions.
Additionally, China has launched an antitrust investigation into Google over alleged violations of competition laws, according to Associated Press.
