Chinese Foreign Ministry: Firmly Opposes US Threat to Impose 100% Tariffs on China

According to Jinshi News, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian presided over a routine press conference. A reporter asked about US President Trump's statement that the US will impose 100% tariffs on China in response to China's export controls on rare earths and other related items. What is China's comment on this? Will China impose new tariffs on goods imported from the US?

Lin Jian responded that the Ministry of Commerce spokesperson has clarified China's position on this. I want to emphasize that recently, the US has continuously implemented a series of restrictions and sanctions against China, severely damaging China's interests. China firmly opposes this. Lin Jian stated that the US not only fails to reflect on its own actions but also threatens with high tariffs, which is not the correct way to deal with China. China urges the US to correct its wrong practices as soon as possible, lead by the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, and resolve concerns through dialogue on the basis of equality, respect, and mutual benefit, properly manage differences, and maintain the stability, health, and sustainable development of China-US relations. Lin Jian pointed out that if the US insists on its own way, China will also take corresponding measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.
