On April 8th, in response to the US side's threat to further impose a 50% tariff on China, a spokesperson for China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated at a regular press conference ——

The trade war and tariff war have no winners, and protectionism has no way out. The Chinese people neither provoke trouble nor fear it. Coercion, threats, and blackmail are not the correct way to deal with China. China will inevitably take necessary measures to firmly safeguard its own legitimate rights and interests. If the US side insists on imposing a tariff war and a trade war regardless of the interests of both countries and the international community, China will inevitably see it through to the end.

Clear-cut and forceful, the US has kicked itself into a hornet's nest. Let's wait and see how the US will make amends.
