China Opposes U.S. Call for Tariffs on Chinese Goods
China has opposed the U.S. demand for a 50%-100% tariff increase on Chinese goods by the G7 and NATO, citing China's purchase of Russian oil as the reason. China views this action as unilateral bullying and economic coercion, which goes against the consensus reached by the leaders of both countries. The Chinese government believes that such measures could severely impact global trade and supply chain stability. China is firmly against these actions and has stated it will take all necessary steps to protect its legitimate rights and interests. It calls on the U.S. to act prudently and resolve economic and trade differences through equal dialogue. Additionally, China hopes that relevant parties will work together with China to uphold the world trade order and supply chain security.
China Rejects US Call for Tariffs Over Russian Oil Imports
During a regular press conference, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian responded to the US's demand for G7 and NATO member countries to impose additional tariffs on China due to its import of Russian oil. The US also called for China to play a role in ending the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Lin stated that the US approach is an act of unilateral bullying. He emphasized that China's position has always been clear, advocating that dialogue and negotiation are the only viable means to resolve the Ukrainian crisis. Since the outbreak of the crisis, China has maintained an objective and fair stance, promoting peace talks. Lin also expressed strong opposition to illegal unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction. He warned that if China's legitimate rights and interests are harmed, it will take resolute countermeasures to protect its sovereignty, security, and development interests.
