China has expressed strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to the United States' recent announcement of a 10-percent additional tariff on Chinese goods. China's Ministry of Commerce released a statement on Sunday condemning the move, which was authorized by U.S. President Donald Trump through an executive order on Saturday.
In response to what China considers wrongful actions by the U.S., the Ministry of Commerce stated that China will file a lawsuit with the World Trade Organization (WTO). Additionally, Beijing plans to implement corresponding countermeasures to safeguard its rights and interests in the global market.
The Chinese Ministry of Commerce urged the United States to reassess its approach, expressing hope that both nations can find a middle ground to ease tensions. The call for mutual cooperation comes amid ongoing discussions about international trade policies and the need for stable economic relations between the world's two largest economies.
