Call for Rectification and Dialogue

China urges the United States to correct its approach and engage in frank dialogue to strengthen cooperation and manage differences based on equality, mutual benefit, and respect. The ministry's statement highlights the importance of addressing issues through constructive engagement rather than unilateral actions.

Legal Action and Countermeasures

In response to what it terms as "wrongful practice," China plans to file a lawsuit with the WTO against the US. Furthermore, it has vowed to implement necessary countermeasures to protect its rights and interests, signaling a firm stance on safeguarding its economic sovereignty.
