China's Firm Stance Against US Tariffs

In a recent press conference, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian expressed strong opposition to the White House's latest announcement regarding increased tariff restrictions on China. The US has imposed new tariffs of up to 245%, citing retaliatory measures from China as the reason.

US Launches National Security Inquiry

Alongside the tariff hikes, the White House has initiated a national security investigation into critical resource imports from China. This move has further strained the already tense trade relations between the two nations.

China's Countermeasures

Lin Jian emphasized that the US was the instigator of the tariff war and that China has implemented necessary countermeasures to protect its legitimate rights and interests. The spokesperson's remarks highlight China's determination to defend its economic sovereignty amidst growing trade tensions.
