The Chinese government's position on opposing the indiscriminate imposition of tariffs by the United States

On April 5th, the United States recently announced that it has imposed tariffs on all its trading partners, including China, under various pretexts, seriously infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of all countries, seriously violating the rules of the World Trade Organization, seriously damaging the rules-based multilateral trading system, and seriously impacting the stability of the global economic order. The Chinese government strongly condemns and firmly opposes this. The relevant actions of the United States violate basic economic laws and market principles, disregard the balance of interests reached in multilateral trade negotiations, and ignore the fact that the United States has benefited a lot from international trade for a long time. Using tariffs as a weapon for maximum pressure and self-interest is a typical act of unilateralism, protectionism and economic bullying.
