China again criticized the tariff climb imposed by the United States government after a US court blocked most tariffs implemented by President Donald Trump. O Ministério do Comércio chinês afirmou que o país “vai revidar até o fim” caso as medidas continuem, e alertou que o protecionismo ameaça a economia global.
The reaction came after Trump threatened to apply a new 50% tariff on Chinese products, if Beijing does not suspend retaliatory rates against US items.
A porta-voz do Ministério das Relações Exteriores da China, Mao Ning, declarou que “não há vencedores em uma guerra tarifária ou comercial”, e que o protecionismo “vai contra a vontade do povo”. Already spokesman Lin Jian stated that the US does not show sincere disposal for dialogue, demanding a posture based on “respect and mutual benefit”.
In recent weeks, Trump has raised Chinese products to 145% before retreating and temporarily reducing to 30% for a period of 90 days after negotiations with the Chinese government.
