WASHINGTON, March 30 — The Bush administration, in a major escalation of trade pressure on China, said Friday that it would reverse more than 20 years of American policy and impose potentially steep tariffs on Chinese manufactured goods on the ground that China is illegally subsidizing some of its exports.

The action, announced by Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez, signaled a tougher approach to China at a time when the administration’s campaign of quiet diplomacy by Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr. has produced few results.

The step also reflected the shift in trade politics since Democrats took control of Congress. The widening American trade deficit with China, which reached a record $232.5 billion last year, or about a third of the entire trade gap, has been seized upon by Democrats as a symbol of past policy failures that have led to the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs.

Mr. Gutierrez’s announcement has the immediate effect of imposing duties on two Chinese makers of high-gloss paper, one at 10.9 percent and the other 20.4 percent, calculated by adding up the supposedly illegal subsidies.

But trade and industry officials say future actions based on the department’s new policy could lead to duties on imports of Chinese steel, plastics, machinery, textiles and many other products sold in the United States, if as expected those industries seek relief and the department finds that they are harmed by illegal subsidies.

Indeed, industry and administration officials say that they chose the high-quality paper industry last year to serve as a test case for a sweeping revision of the administration’s previous policies, which did not allow for antisubsidy duties for Communist or other nonmarket economies.

Mr. Gutierrez said that the administration’s step was based on careful study of Chinese subsidy practices and was being carried out irrespective of any pressure from Congress.

“This is simply an application of our law,” he declared. “The message that we have been sending all along to all of our trading partners is that we want fair trade and that we will use every tool at our disposal to guarantee that our workers and our companies have a level playing field.”

A spokesman at the Embassy of China, Chu Maoming, said in Washington that China expressed “strong objection” to the Commerce Department announcement, which he said sets a bad precedent that could damage China-United States relations.

“The Chinese side strongly urges the U.S. side to reconsider the decision and reverse it as soon as possible,” he said.

The stock market at first reacted negatively to the news, on fears that a trade war with China could erupt, harming the dollar as well as stocks of companies that rely on trade with China. But stocks later recovered, ending the day barely changed.

Beyond seeking a review of the new policy in coming months, China is expected to challenge it in federal court and also at the World Trade Organization, but not through imposing tariffs of its own on American goods, according to lawyers who have been representing China in the dispute.

Under W.T.O. rules, China must seek recourse through the courts or the W.T.O.’s adjudication process if it hopes to get the new tariffs declared illegal.

Democrats in Congress hailed the announcement by Mr. Gutierrez but said they would continue their efforts to force a tougher policy on China through various pieces of legislation. Many Democrats won their elections last fall in part by advocating a tougher policy on trade with China and other countries where labor and material costs are much lower than those in the United States.

Some lawmakers also complain bitterly that China unfairly ties its currency to the dollar, which aggravates the trade imbalance by making exports to America cheaper and imports to China more expensive. But American officials say there is no thought being given to citing currency policies as a form of subsidy that would bring about import duties.

“This is a long-overdue change in policy,” said Sander M. Levin, a Michigan Democrat who is chairman of the trade subcommittee of the House Ways and Means Committee.

He said that lawmakers would nonetheless press for sweeping legislation calling for tougher actions against American trading partners deemed to be engaged in unfair practices. He also said that he would try to enact legislation codifying the new administration policy in case the courts overturn it.
