China's Firm Opposition to US Tariffs

The Chinese Ministry of Commerce has expressed its strong opposition to the new 10% tariff on all Chinese goods imposed by United States President Donald Trump. The ministry labeled the move as a "serious violation" of World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, emphasizing its detrimental effects on US-China economic and trade cooperation.

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 on the basis of equality, mutual benefit, and mutual respect. The ministry highlighted the importance of addressing the issue collaboratively to prevent further damage to bilateral relations.

Legal Action and Countermeasures

In response to these tariffs, China plans to file a lawsuit with the WTO against the US for "wrongful practice" and has promised to implement countermeasures to protect its rights and interests. This move underscores China's commitment to defending its economic sovereignty and maintaining a fair international trade environment.
