China responds robustly to US-imposed tariffs, expressing commitment to safeguard its rights and interests. In a recent press conference, He Yongqian, spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce, criticized the US for violating World Trade Organization rules through additional tariffs, labeling them as unilateral actions and trade protectionism.
He emphasized that such measures undermine the multilateral trading system, disrupt global supply chains, and escalate trade tensions worldwide. However, He also stated that China does not aim to provoke trade disputes and seeks to resolve issues through dialogue and consultation. Moreover, China is open to collaborating with other nations to combat unilateralism and protect the stability of international trade.
