China's commerce ministry said on Thursday that Beijing will have to continue to fight back against the latest implementation of U.S. tariffs on $16 billion of Chinese goods.

China will file a complaint with the World Trade Organization (WTO) against the U.S. action, the ministry also said in a statement on its website.

The latest round of U.S., Chinese import tariffs on each other's goods took effect as of 0401 GMT on Thursday.
