China has officially challenged the United States at the World Trade Organization (WTO) after the U.S. announced a sharp increase in tariffs on Chinese imports. The move comes after Washington raised tariffs from 34% to 84%, sparking accusations of rule-breaking and "unilateral bullying" from Beijing. 🔥
Speaking on Wednesday, a spokesperson for China’s Ministry of Commerce called the U.S. decision a serious violation of WTO principles, arguing the additional 50% hike compounds earlier disputes. 💼⚖️
The lawsuit underscores China’s commitment to defending global trade rules and resisting "bullying tactics," the spokesperson added. As tensions rise, the case could reshape the future of international trade dynamics. 🌐🚨
