China's Ministry of Commerce has officially called on the United States to reverse its recent decision to impose a 20 percent tariff on Chinese products. The ministry labeled the action as unfounded, highlighting it as a manifestation of protectionism, unilateralism, and bullying.
The U.S. government further announced an additional 10 percent tariff on all Chinese goods imported into the U.S. this past Monday, citing the ongoing fentanyl crisis as the primary rationale. This move follows a prior 10 percent tariff initiated on February 1.
In response, China's State Council Information Office released a white paper titled "Controlling Fentanyl-Related Substances – China's Contribution," detailing the nation's stringent regulatory measures and ongoing commitment to global drug control efforts.
The Ministry of Commerce emphasized China's proactive stance in controlling fentanyl-related substances, underscoring its dedication to international drug prevention initiatives.
