China's Commerce Ministry has slammed the United States' latest move to impose a 10% tariff on goods imported from China starting March 4. 📈🤨
\"China has repeatedly stressed that unilateral tariffs violate World Trade Organization rules and damage the multilateral trading system. China firmly opposes the U.S.' move,\" a spokesperson for China's Commerce Ministry stated.
The U.S. cited concerns over fentanyl as a justification for the new tariff threat. However, China emphasized its stringent anti-drug policies and active participation in international anti-drug cooperation, including with the U.S. 🚫💊
\"The U.S. has consistently ignored objective facts,\" the spokesperson added, pointing out that the U.S. is now threatening additional tariffs despite ongoing cooperation.
China hopes the U.S. will return to resolving differences through equal dialogue rather than unilateral actions. If the U.S. persists, China has vowed to take all necessary countermeasures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests. ✌️🌏
