China’s Commerce Ministry said it would never accept the US’s “blackmailing nature” and would fight against tariffs to the end, The Guardian reported.
According to the ministry, US President Donald Trump’s threat to impose an additional 50% tariff on Chinese goods is “one mistake after another”.
“The US threat to escalate tariffs against China is one mistake after another, which once again reveals the US’s blackmailing nature. China will never accept it. If the US insists on going its own way, China will fight to the end. If the US strengthens tariff measures, China will resolutely take countermeasures to protect its rights and interests,” the ministry spokesman said.
China’s Ministry of Commerce says all tariff plans should be canceled and the US-China dispute should be resolved through dialogue.
As a reminder, US President Donald Trump said yesterday that he would impose additional 50% tariffs on Chinese goods if Beijing does not abandon its plans for retaliatory measures by Tuesday.
