China's Firm Stance Against US Tariffs

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

US Launches National Security Inquiry

Alongside the tariff hike, the White House has initiated a national security investigation into the imports of critical resources. This move has further escalated tensions between the two economic powerhouses.

China's Response

Lin Jian emphasized that the tariff war was started by the US and that China has been compelled to take necessary countermeasures to defend its legitimate rights and interests. The spokesperson's remarks highlight China's determination to stand firm against what it views as unfair economic pressures.
