Asian markets ended mostly in red on Monday as Beijing cancelled upcoming talks with the Washington and a new round of tariffs between China and the United States came into effect, ending hopes of a resolution to the trade dispute. Washington had announced 10 percent duties on $200 billion of Chinese imports, which prompted Beijing to respond with tariffs on $60 billion of US goods. On Friday, the Wall Street Journal reported that China had called off planned trade talks with the US in the wake of a new round of duties. Meanwhile, trading activity was subdued as markets in Japan, South Korea, China and Taiwan were closed for public holidays.
