The Chinese mainland has expressed strong dissatisfaction with the United States' recent decision to impose an additional 10-percent tariff on goods imported from China. A spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce made the statement on Tuesday, emphasizing China's firm opposition to the move.
In response to the tariffs, the Chinese mainland has pledged to take countermeasures to firmly safeguard its own rights and interests. This development marks a significant escalation in the ongoing trade tensions between the two economic powerhouses.
The spokesperson highlighted the extensive and in-depth anti-drug cooperation between China and the United States, which has yielded remarkable results. Despite this collaboration, the U.S. has repeatedly shifted the blame onto China, citing issues such as fentanyl as a pretext for imposing additional tariffs on Chinese exports.
\"What the U.S. side has done is a typical act of unilateralism and bullying in disregard of facts, international trade rules and the voice of all parties,\" the spokesperson criticized. This condemnation underscores the Chinese mainland's stance against what it perceives as unfair trade practices and highlights the broader implications for international trade relations.
