On April 11, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian presided over the regular press conference. A reporter from Agence France-Presse asked: The White House has confirmed that Chinese products exported to the United States will now face a 145% tariff. What is your response?
In response, Lin Jian reiterated China's solemn position on the issue of tariffs. There is no winner in a tariff war or a trade war. China does not want to engage in it, but it is not afraid to do so either.
Lin Jian emphasized that if the US side truly wishes to resolve problems through dialogue and negotiation, it should stop its extreme pressure tactics and reckless behavior! China never falls for this kind of approach! Any dialogue must be based on equality, respect, and mutual benefit. If the US side insists on engaging in a tariff war or a trade war, China will see it through to the end.
Lin Jian pointed out that China is a responsible country. Our countermeasures against the US bullying behavior are not only to safeguard our own legitimate rights and interests, but also to uphold international rules and order, to protect the common interests of all countries in the world, and to uphold international fairness and justice. In the face of US bullying and hegemony, compromise and retreat lead nowhere.
