Chinese military aircraft including Y-20 large transport aircraft and YU-20 aerial refueling tanker have arrived in south China's Zhuhai City on Monday for the upcoming 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, or the Zhuhai Airshow.
The Y-20 large transport aircraft is China's first independently developed large military transport aircraft, while the YU-20 aerial refueling tanker represents China's new generation of aerial refueling equipment. It can enhance the long-range mobility capability of the Air Force and can undertake the same aerial delivery missions as the Y-20 aircraft. The Chinese Air Force's J-16 fighter jet and H-6K bomber participating in the show arrived at the Zhuhai Jinwan Airport on Sunday. Domestically developed high-altitude long-endurance reconnaissance drones WZ-7 and WZ-10 arrived at the airport on Saturday. The airshow will take place from Nov 12 to 17, attracting 1,022 companies from 47 countries and regions. Russia, France, the United States, Saudi Arabia and Italy will participate in the biennial aerospace trade show in groups. As an export-oriented international event, the Zhuhai Airshow offers visitors a rare close-up view of China's military aircraft, especially the newest models.

China is to impose a matching 34 percent tariffs on all U.S. imports, plus export controls, and trade restrictions, in response to the U.S. move to impose a 34 percent "reciprocal tariff" on Chinese imports, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce announced on Friday.
The spokesperson said that the U.S. imposition of so-called "reciprocal tariffs" seriously violates WTO rules, harms the legitimate rights and interests of the WTO members, and undermines the multilateral trade system and global economic order.
Calling it a typical act of unilateral bullying that threatens global trade stability, China has filed a complaint against the U.S. move under the WTO dispute settlement mechanism, the spokesperson said.
Meanwhile, the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council announced on Friday that the imposition of the 34-percent tariffs on all products imported from the United States would take effect on 12:01, April 10, while the U.S. imposition is set to take effect on April 9.
Also on Friday, the Ministry of Commerce issued announcement No.18 of 2025, imposing export controls on seven types of middle-heavy rare earth elements, including samarium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, lutetium, scandium, and yttrium.
The Ministry of Commerce also issued announcement No.21 of 2025, adding 16 U.S. military-related entities to the export control list, prohibiting the export of dual-use items to these entities.
The work mechanism for the unreliable entity list issued announcement No.7 of 2025, which added 11 U.S. companies on the unreliable entity list, prohibiting them from engaging in import and export activities related to China, and prohibiting them from making new investments in China.
The Ministry of Commerce issued announcements No.19 and No.20 of 2025, launching an anti-dumping investigation into imported medical CT tubes originating from the U.S. and other regions, and initiating China's first industry competitiveness investigation into imported medical CT tubes.
Also on Friday, the General Administration of Customs issued announcements No.54 and No.55, stating that in order to protect the health of Chinese consumers and ensure the safety of China's livestock production, it has decided to suspend the qualification of one U.S. company for exporting sorghum to China, suspend the qualification of three U.S. companies for exporting poultry bone meal to China, and suspend the export of poultry products to China from two U.S. companies, as their imports are found problematic in the inspection and quarantine.
