China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Firmly Opposes U.S. Claims to Impose 100% Tariffs on China

According to Foresight News, according to Jin Shi, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian hosted a regular press conference. A reporter asked: U.S. President Trump said that in response to China’s export controls on rare earths and other related items, the United States will impose 100% tariffs on China. What is China’s comment on this? Will China impose new tariffs on goods imported from the United States?

Lin Jian responded that the spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce has clarified China’s position on this. I want to emphasize that in recent times, the United States has continued to introduce a series of restrictions and sanctions against China, which has seriously harmed China's interests. China firmly opposes this. Lin Jian said that the United States not only failed to reflect on itself, but instead threatened high tariffs. This is not the correct way to deal with China. China urges the United States to correct its erroneous practices as soon as possible, follow the important consensus reached by the two heads of state during the phone call, resolve their respective concerns through dialogue on the basis of equality, respect and reciprocity, properly manage differences, and maintain the stability, healthy and sustainable development of China-U.S. relations. Lin Jian pointed out that if the United States insists on going its own way, China will resolutely take corresponding measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.
