Foreign Ministry Responds to U.S. Imposing 245% Tariffs on Chinese Goods
At today's regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a reporter asked about the latest statement on the White House's official website, which indicated that due to China's retaliatory measures, the U.S. has increased tariffs on China to 245%. In response, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian stated that for specific tariff rates, you may ask the U.S. side. China has repeatedly clarified its firm stance on the issue of tariffs. This tariff war was initiated by the U.S., and China has taken necessary countermeasures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests as well as international fairness and justice, which is completely reasonable and lawful. There are no winners in a tariff war or trade war. China does not wish to fight, but will never shy away from it.
