The US threatens to impose additional tariffs, China responds: firmly oppose and take necessary countermeasures

On February 27, 2025 local time, US President Trump announced that an additional 10% tariff would be imposed on Chinese goods from March 4. In response, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce of China said on February 28 that China has noticed this situation and expressed its firm opposition to it.

China pointed out that China is one of the countries with the strictest and most thorough drug control policies in the world, and has been actively conducting international drug control cooperation with countries around the world, including the United States. However, the United States has ignored objective facts and has previously imposed tariffs on China on the grounds of fentanyl and other substances, and now threatens to impose tariffs again. This behavior not only violates WTO rules and undermines the multilateral trading system, but also constitutes "shifting blame". It is not conducive to solving the United States' own problems, but will increase the burden on American companies and consumers and undermine the stability of the global industrial chain.

The spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce stressed that China hopes that the US will not repeat its mistakes and return to the right track of properly resolving differences through equal dialogue as soon as possible. If the US insists on its own way, China will take all necessary countermeasures to firmly defend its legitimate rights and interests.
