China has accused the US of making "unfounded and false allegations" about its role in the fentanyl trade to justify tariffs on Chinese products.

The complaint was lodged with the World Trade Organization ( WTO ) one day after US President Donald Trump raised border taxes on Chinese goods by 10% .

China said the measures were "discriminatory and protectionist" and violated world trade rules.

It is unclear how effective a remedy it will be.
