‘Cancel immediately’: China’s fast response to Trump’s tariff announcement

China strongly condemned the new tariffs imposed by the United States on Thursday, announcing that it “strongly opposed” and “to protect its rights and interests” to the counselor.
US President Donald Trump has a sharp response from Beijing after announcing a 10 percent base tariff on global imports, with an additional 34 percent of the excess levy specifically targeting China.
In a statement on Thursday, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce criticized tariffs as a violation of international trade criteria, arguing that they significantly reduce the legitimate rights of the affected nations.
The ministry said, “US tariffs do not follow the international trade regulations and severely damage the legitimate rights and interests of the parties concerned,” the ministry urged Washington to “cancel the new levy” immediately.
Beijing warned that tariffs could have widespread consequences, not only China, but also the global economy, international supply chain, and even American businesses.
The ministry said, “These measures endanger global economic development and stability of production and supply chains.”
Trump has defended Tariff as “mutual”, claiming that they have long addressed permanent trade imbalance.
After Trump’s tariff announcement, China called for a “dialogue” to resolve the dispute.
“There is no winner in the trade war, and there is no way for protectionism.” “History has proved that increasing the tariff does not solve America’s problems,” said this.
“It damages the US’s interests and endanger the global economic growth and stability of production and supply chains.”
