The spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce of China said on the 8th that China has noticed that on April 7, Eastern Time, the United States threatened to further impose 50% tariffs on China, and China firmly opposes this. If the US tariff escalation measures are implemented, China will resolutely take countermeasures to safeguard its own rights and interests.
The spokesperson said that the US’s imposition of so-called “reciprocal tariffs” on China is groundless and a typical unilateral bullying practice. The countermeasures that China has taken are to safeguard its own sovereignty, security and development interests and maintain the normal international trade order. It is completely legitimate. The US threat to escalate tariffs on China is a mistake on top of a mistake, which once again exposes the blackmail nature of the United States. China will never accept this. If the United States insists on its own way, China will definitely fight to the end.
The spokesperson said that China reiterates that there are no winners in a trade war and there is no way out for protectionism. Pressure and threats are not the right way to deal with China. China urges the United States to immediately correct its wrong practices, cancel all unilateral tariff measures against China, stop suppressing China’s economy and trade, and properly resolve differences with China through equal dialogue on the basis of mutual respect.
